Fundraising

Why does our school fundraise?

School fundraising has long been a necessity to provide our children with "extras" like field trips, special assemblies, visiting authors, etc. Now, with our state budget crisis, education has suffered further cuts, and fundraising will now be necessary for such necessities as classroom supplies, art programs, PE equipment, and books for our library, and many other things which we consider crucial to providing our children with a good education.

We, the parents, can make a difference. But, it takes a "whole" school commitment. We all need to join together to support our fundraisers. This means parents, teachers and administration. With everyone's support, we can make a difference.

What if IVE earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Now it can!
GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine, with a unique social mission... every time you use GoodSearch, money is generated for IVE.

GoodSearch donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities selected by its users. The pennies quickly add up. For example, if 1,000 IVE supporters searched just twice a day, we would receive an estimated $7,300 per year to help fund our program.

What's great is that you use GoodSearch just as you would any search engine. Again, it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get proven, high-quality results.

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Issaquah Valley Elementary as the charity you want to support.

The more people who use this site, the more money we'll earn. So please spread the word!

Popcorn Fridays
Don't forget your quarter each Friday for the student's favorite fundraiser!

In the past the profits from all of these fundraisers were used for computers, programs, playground equipment, special assemblies, and much more. With your continued support, we will continue to provide our children with the necessities, and with the "extras" that will enrich their educational experience.
