2008 IVE Walk-a-Thon “Walk Today ... Soar
Tomorrow” Friday, May 16th
– All Day The Annual
IVE Walk-A-Thon will be held on May 16th. We are in the planning process and need
many more hands and minds to make the day a great success! This is
IVE’s biggest fundraiser and provides the bulk of the PTA’s
operating budget for the following school year. We are hoping to raise $30,000. The WAT is a great time to get to know
the kids at school, other parents and teachers. It is easy to help – you can
perform a specific task such as helping with the Kick-Off Assembly, creating
and/or putting up bulletin boards, helping with a “practice WAT”
during lunch one day, helping the day of the event (either all day of when your
child is walking), and collecting pledge envelopes after the event. There are so many ways to
help! Please fill out the slip
below with your area of interest and return it to school. Please feel free to e-mail or call me as
well! WAT Chair - Our next meeting will
be the week after Spring Break.

IMS Panther Passage - Volunteers Needed
Volunteers Needed for the Issaquah Middle School Panther Passage (formerly known as Spring Forum). Are you curious about the changes you and your child will experience with the transition to Middle School? Volunteering at Panther Passage provides a great opportunity for you to get a glimpse into the wonderful IMS community of students, staff and parents. Panther Passage is a long-standing IMS program where eighth graders present a portfolio of their middle school achievements to community listeners (validators). This year’s Panther Passage will be held from May 19 through June 6 at IMS during school hours. We invite you to visit the IMS website at www.ims.issaquah.wednet.edu and click on the Panther Passage link to volunteer or to learn more about this rewarding program. If you have any questions, please contact Susan Meyer at (425) 222-9616 or wetmeyer2@comcast.net. |
