IVE PTA Parents Night Out / Open Gym
 
Mark your calendars for our last fundraiser of the year! The PTA is hosting an open gym night for IVE students at Gymnastics East in Issaquah on Friday, May 31 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. The cost is $10.00 per child, payable at the door the night of the event. Parents are welcome to stay or drop off. Pre-registration is not required but strongly encouraged to reserve your spot! For more information and to pre-register, visit the sign-up page  or contact Amy Cancelosi .
 

TAKE ACTION FOR YOUR CHILD!

Please Take Action and sign the petition urging Legislators to fund education.  Legislators are back to work now trying to hash out a budget. Here is where our kids stand with having education funded:

"Once again, the regular session ended with no operating budget and no shared vision for phasing in basic education spending, despite a court order." ~Ramona Hattendorf, WSPTA Government Relations Coordinator

The court order Ramona Hattendorf is referring to is the McCleary decision. Please take five minutes to educate yourself on the McCleary decision which is intended to provide our students with a fully funded education system. This PDF from NEWS (Network for Excellence in Washington Schools) gives a good overview.  Thank You for taking action, informing yourself, and speaking up for your kids!

ATTENTION 5TH GRADE PARENTS!
ORKILA UPDATE

 

We are in the home stretch of preparing for camp Orkila, but we need your help on a couple of things.

1. A number of you have not filled out the online liability form that Camp Orkila requires. Please go to this link and do so IMMEDIATELY so your child can go to camp.
2. A couple of the male chaperones have had a change in plans. We need 2 more 5th grade Dads to step up to chaperone! Come make memories of a lifetime with your child at camp! Please contact Debbie Kuntz at  at your earliest convenience to volunteer. Thanks!
