Donate to the Food Pantry

 

Thanks in part to a grant from the ILHS PTSA, our school has a new Food Pantry, to support ILHS students who may be experiencing food insecurity. Donated items will provide food for weekends and over school breaks. 

 

What the Food Pantry currently needs:

  • Individually packaged foods: Crackers, trail mix, nuts, single-serve cereal boxes, breakfast bars, noodles (i.e., ramen), fruit leather, instant oatmeal, applesauce, jerky sticks or tuna pouches. 
  • Canned goods: Vegetables, SpaghettiOs
  • Microwavable popcorn
  • Other non-perishable items

    Please bring items to the "Food Pantry" box in ILHS lobby. All items must be individually packaged.

     

    If you have any questions, you can reach out to Sarah Gardner at sgardner@nsd.org or Brienne Gilbert at bgilbert@nsd.org.

    This puppy is sad.
    Why?
    Because we still don't have volunteers for the (very important)
    PTSA Nominating Committee.
     
    Here's the deal: 
     
    As a membership association, it is important that our members have a say in who will lead our PTSA into the next school year. In order to be sure that all voices are heard, each year we recruit three PTSA member volunteers to help us identify our next set of PTSA officers. So, this means we need three volunteers to help us identify our next set of PTSA officers. We will be electing new officers at our May meeting and two of our officers are hitting their term limits, so time is of the essence.
     
    If you're new to the school or don't know a lot of people in the ILHS community, that's OK. All that's required is your enthusiasm and passion for ILHS, and we can help you with the rest! 
     
    Interested in joining the Nominating Committee? Please fill out this form.
    Have a question? Reach out directly to president@ilhsptsa.org.
     
    Our sincere apologies for our shameless use of an adorable puppy photo to get your attention.
    We are so lucky...
    To have such a wonderful staff!
