PTSA Meeting - THIS Thursday, May 16th

 

Join us at our LAST PTSA meeting of the year!

 

At 6:30pm in the ILHS Commons we'll be hearing from JoLynn Berge, NSD deputy superintendent and CFO, with an update on the NSD 2024-2025 budget. This presentation will be in-person only.

 

At 7pm in the ILHS Commons & via Zoom* we'll have our PTSA meeting. 

We will hear an update from Ms. Tiffany & two incoming ASB leaders, vote in our new PTSA officers and approve a preliminary PTSA budget for the 2024-2025 year!

Better World Day & Spring Showcase
Volunteers & Items Needed!
 
Better World Day (BWD) and the Spring Showcase are coming up on Wednesday, May 22nd!
 
We're looking for some volunteers to help out during BWD and we're also looking for a few outdoor games/activities donations for the Spring Showcase event. Can you help?
 
BWD Volunteers:
 
Spring Showcase Game/Activity Donation/Lending:
 
WHAT IS BWD: Students at ILHS have been working on projects to better their school, their community or even the world since fall of this year. This event is the culmination of their work. They share their projects with their peers with displays and presentations.
 
WHAT IS SPRING SHOWCASE: An open-house type of event for current, incoming and interested families to view student projects. There will be informational tours, staff and students to answer questions, students talking about projects, food trucks, music, activities and outdoor games. 
From the Student Better World Day Committee:

Hello friends and family of ILHS Ravens!

We would like to invite YOU to our Better World Day event on May 22nd from 9:30-11:30am (talk to your student for more specifics)! 

Better World Day is a long term project students embark on each year to improve the communities around them, and our event is where students present all of the changes and progress they have made.

When you visit the event, please make sure to contact your student when you arrive. Your student will lead you around the presentations and booths. Students need to be with the person who is attending at all times, so make sure you have good communication. 

If you aren't able to make it during the day, please consider attending the Spring Showcase later that evening from 5-7pm.

We can't wait to see people support our Ravens! THANK YOU!
May Staff Appreciation Week:
THANK YOU!
 
THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to Staff Appreciation Week! With your help we were able to shower the amazing ILHS staff with snacks, beverages, Wish List gifts & a delicious picnic-theme luncheon!

We are keeping the Staff Wish Lists up through the end of the year so we can continue to show them the LOVE! Visit this LINK to see all of the active Wish Lists.

THANK YOU to our incredible PTSA Staff Appreciation Team - Maggie & Samantha - for working hard all year to plan and organize these events to make sure the ILHS staff knows how much we appreciate all they do for our kiddos!
