For more information about the fundraisers, send an inquiry via e-mail to 103learningfund@gmail.com.
Shop year-round and support students in District 103 by making purchases at www.inisbrook.com. Be sure to enter our school number: 101304. Proceeds will fund the Science Initiative.
The Lincolnshire Rotary has teamed with the Learning Fund Foundation to offer Gift-Check Books that benefit our students. Treat yourself, your family and friends to a book of gift-checks with over $600 in savings from local merchants - all for just $30! Proceeds fund two scholarships for School District 103 students and provide a donation to the Science Initiative. To order online, visit www.rotarysavings.org.

Matching Gift Program - Does your Company Have One?

Matching Gift Programs are a wonderful way for employees to make their charitable dollars stretch farther at no cost to themselves. Click here for a Q & A prepared by our PTO concerning matching gift programs along with a list of companies that participate. The impact of your donations made through District 103 PTO and Learning Fund Foundation fundraising events (e.g., $103 for 103, Learning Fund Foundation’s Back-to-School Family Fest, etc. ) can possibly be multiplied. For more information visit our district site.
Support our schools when you shop!  Every time you use your Target Visa or Target Guest Card®, the school of your choice will receive an amount equal to 1% of Target Visa and Target Guest Card purchases made at Target and target.com, and 1/2% of Target Visa purchases made elsewhere.  School ID numbers are:  Sprague # 47235, Half Day # 47233, and Daniel Wright # 47234.  Applications are available at www.target.com and at every Target store.

PTO Book Fair
