Jambberry Fundraiser

Kari Newell (aka Ivy’s Mom) is holding a fundraiser for Little Acorn through Jamberry. She will be donating 25% of the sales to Little Acorn PLUS those sales will help earn free product that will be donted to the Auction in March to raise even more money for our fabulous school.  By making a purchase you are actually giving twice!  Please check your child’s cubby on Tuesday January 20 for a flyer!  The sale will run from today until January 30th!  A table will be set up in the lobby of Little Acorn on Tuesday January 27th at 11:45 so come early to pick up your kiddos and stop by for a demo, free sample or to buy some wraps from the inventory that she will have on hand!

Jamberry are high quality, vinyl, heat and pressure sealed nail wraps that last for weeks, at a fraction of the cost of a salon visit! No harsh chemicals, chipped polish, or damage to your natural nail. No dry time, non-toxic and latex free! There are over 350 adorable style options! One sheet of nail wraps will give you 2 manis and 2 pedis plus leftovers for accent nails!  They have Junior sizes too for all the little kids!  Boys and girls both love Jamberry!
