We Walked the Walk!

April 12, 2023
Tigers! We are ecstatic to announce our fundraising total for Tiger Walk. Drumroll please…we collectively raised $20,000! Way over our goal!
That’s INCREDIBLE! And a testament to how much energy and love our community has for our school.
We will do great things with the funds – all for our kids and teachers.
THANK YOU to everyone who donated. We are grateful and so excited for all the good to come.
We also want to thank Kyla Page, who planned and implemented this amazing event! Not only did all of our kids have fun but we are thrilled to have been able to offer a low sensory aspect for our ISET kiddos! She has been our fundraising extraordinaire this year and did the most amazing job with Tiger Walk! It would not have happened without her! Thank you, thank you, Kyla!

One More Day until TIGER WALK!

April 6, 2023

Tigers! We are SO CLOSE! Get your donations in by the end of the day on Friday 4/7! We are so excited about our amazing school and classroom prizes – an all-school recess with treats, pizza and popcorn parties, oh my!

And remember that top donors get a special S’mores and Stories with our librarian, Mr. Heimfeld!

Backpacks and prizes come home tomorrow! If your student is absent they’ll receive them upon their return. Remember to send your kiddos to school in NEON, SPIRIT WEAR, OR WHITE so they glow tomorrow!!

Thank you for your support of the PTSA – it all goes straight back to benefit your students!!

Halfway To Our Goal!

April 5, 2023

We hope your kiddos liked the glow-in-the-dark toe tokens and Tiger Walk bookmarks that came home yesterday! The donations just keep rolling in! We are HALF-WAY to our goal!! Let’s keep the momentum going!

We wanted to share an anecdote from a parent whose child just participated in the Talent Show, organized and funded by the PTSA:

“I was a little surprised that my daughter decided to participate in the talent show with a dance because she hasn’t even seen a talent show before. She practiced with her friends and got so excited to perform. As the day got closer, she started to get nervous and I didn’t know if she’d do it or not. But super friendly volunteer moms were right there to encourage her and when the show started and I watched her perform I actually cried. It was so magical to see my daughter being brave and express herself. It will be one of my most cherished memories of elementary school. Thank you for giving her (and my family) this experience!” – Second-grade mom

This is just one event the PTSA puts efforts (and funds) into and we are thrilled to be able to do so! We are all about creating meaningful experiences for our Tiger families and community.

So thank you for your donations – keep them coming! Let’s get to that $13k by Friday!

‘Hidden In Plain Sight’ Coming in April

March 28, 2023
Register today for our upcoming Hidden in Plain Sight events, presented by Empower Youth Network. Each HIPS event will be accompanied by a Community Resource Fair.
The Hidden in Plain Sight experience helps parents/guardians spot signs of at-risk behaviors, using an interactive display of a teenager’s bedroom. After walking through the display, participants will learn more about adolescent development, risk and protective factors, and common signs of substance use provided by community prevention professionals. This exhibit is designed to educate and empower parents/guardians to communicate with their children about at-risk behaviors, expectations and more.
A strong parent/guardian-teen relationship and clear consistent communication is one of the most effective protective factors to prevent youth substance use.
