Home and School’s Annual Fundraiser
Charleston Wrap Catalogs and Parent Welcome letter packets were sent home with all students week. The catalogs highlight the high quality wrapping paper you need for the year and have over 500 unique gift items. The Charleston Wrap Fundraiser is Ascension Home and School’s major fundraising effort for the school year. The money raised goes to support the activities your children love throughout the year:
Buddy Bowling, Buddy Bingo, The Sock Hop, Enrichment Activities, the End of School Picnic and many more.
We encourage ALL families to participate by sharing the catalogs with friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers. Orders can be placed online, or through the paper order form. The on-line ordering is very convenient and the link can be shared with others via email or social media. Ascension makes a slightly larger profit margin from the paper form orders. Completed orders will be available at Ascension before Thanksgiving just in time for holiday gift giving. The delivery date is TBD.
Our Sale runs from
September 19 through
