PTO is excited to announce a visit from Kona Ice of West Knoxville!!
We will be having Kona Ice out to serve a delicious Hawaiian Ice on May 6th to raise money for our school. They will be donating 20% of their gross sales to us. We are including a link to an online portal where you may purchase a Kona for your child. There is also a menu choice for a "Pay it Forward" Kona. This is an option to purchase additional Konas for children who may not be able to afford one. These additional Konas are included in the fundraiser, and are so appreciated if you are able to do so.
The online portal will close the day before our event so be sure to order now! You may also send cash on the day of the event. Tax is included in all prices. If you have any specific questions regarding nutritional information, feel free to contact Kona Ice directly at ingrida@kona-ice.com. They will be happy to help you.
The portal is open from April 27th through May 5th at 9:00pm.
