Purpostiy
Make a difference at IACS by downloading the Purposity app.
Purposity is an app that allows us to post student and family needs anonymously. Those who download the app (staff, families,& community members) can choose to meet these needs if they'd like to. Many times people want to help but don't know how, this allows them to help when they can.
To be a part of our Purposity movement, download the Purposity app from the App Store or Google Play, and follow Idaho Arts Charter School. The more people that join us, the bigger the impact, so please invite your friends, family, and anyone else that you think would like to make a difference in a child's life.
For more info watch the Purposity intro video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGX3zSwEW0c
Food Drive
This year we filled the stage! Over the Thanksgiving break, Les Schwab came and loaded one large and one small truck full of our collected donations. Our Idaho Arts family can be very proud of the combined efforts that will help many families in need this winter. Two classes are being recognized for the large collection of items their class contributed and the points earned by those contributions. In grades K-2, Ms. Wade's 2nd-grade class finished the week with 1.480 points. In grades 3-5, Mrs. Rogers' class finished the week with 2,639 points. These two classes will be awarded a popcorn party to celebrate. Thank you to everyone who supported our drive this year.
