SPRING FLOWER SALE
Sponsored By STUDENT COUNCIL
To Benefit ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL
We have brought back a favorite fundraiser from years past…a voucher exchange flower sale through Creque’s Greenhouse. Most of us buy and plant annuals each year anyway, and Creque’s is a high quality, reasonably-priced, and conveniently located greenhouse. This voucher system allows you to choose flats of flowers in the colors you prefer, and pick them up at a time that is convenient for you. Additionally, Creque’s will donate flats of flowers to plant around our school and parish, as a Student Council Service Project.
Please use the form below to place your orders.
