ILHS PTSA Membership Meeting
Thursday, March 21 
6:30pm (@ ILHS and via Zoom)
 
In addition to our regular PTSA business and updates, we will be asking for nominations from the floor for our Nominating Committee (at least three people to help us search for our next PTSA officers). Nominating Committee members must be elected to serve on the committee at this meeting in order for us to remain in Good Standing with WSPTA.
 
And...
 
Share what you love about ILHS!
Ms. Mo will be at the meeting to make a video promoting our amazing school to prospective students. She'll be asking parents to share a few words on what they love about ILHS.
 

Why did you choose ILHS? 

What do you like about ILHS? 

How does ILHS benefit your student?

 

If we end our meeting early, we'll play some card games and eat cookies!

Support our students while competing in this delicious event!

Help Lead the Way in our PTSA

 

Seeking Nominations for 2024-2025 PTSA Officers

 

Each year our PTSA elected officer positions are up for election. We are looking for nominees for President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary to serve for a one-year term. Our current President and Secretary have reached their 2 year term limit and must move on.

 

Please consider volunteering for one of these important positions! This is a great way to get more involved with our school community and have an impact on the future of ILHS. No experience is necessary, and current officers will be available to train and onboard incoming officers. Washington State PTA also offers training courses to help get you on your feet!

 

Learn more about these elected position on our website

 

Interested? Nominate yourself (or someone else) here. 

 

Deadline to submit nominations is April 28th.

 

Have a question? Reach out directly to nomcom@ilhsptsa.org. 

Seeking Volunteers for the 2024 Senior Breakfast Committee

 

On June 12, we'll be serving a yummy pancake breakfast to our seniors! We would love to have a few adults to spearhead this effort. We've got details from last year's breakfast, so you wouldn't be starting from scratch. It would be especially nice if it included Junior parents so that the senior parents can relax and enjoy themselves. 

 

Reach out to president@ilhsptsa.org to pitch in!
