SPANISH FUNDRAISER: Our Fundraiser orders are due on September 17. If you could help by selling one item, that would be AWESOME!!! You can also set up an online order form for yourself and send it out to friends, family, etc. They will pay with a credit card and the items will be delivered to their home. It is super easy to do!!! I set one up for myself to share with my family and friends. Here is the link:
