We did it!!! πππ
We are SO proud of you, Bengals! THANK YOU to each and every one of you for donating. Your PTA is pumped and ready to put these funds to work with lots of exciting programs, enrichment, and fun to benefit your students! Mr. Linville, are you ready to smooch the bearded dragon next Friday? πππ¦
Congrats to Mrs. Kucheck and her 1st grade class - they ended up with 97% class participation, short only one student to reach 100%, making them the class with the HIGHEST percentage of class participation! Because they ended up on top, they have earned a POPSICLE PARTY!
Congrats also to Ms. Mak and her 3rd grade class for reaching $5,325 in pledge drive donations, earning the top spot (over $1,800 more than 2nd place) and a PIZZA AND POPSICLE PARTY!
More info coming soon regarding donation incentives!

ACE (Afterschool Classroom Enrichment) Update - SURVEY
Do you know that we now have 10 robust after school enrichment classes (ACE) through IPSF on campus? We have chess, cartooning, comic art, financial literacy, hip-hop, basketball, golf, dinosaur science, and special effects movie making currently in session. Fall semester ACE Classes will end in November, but we plan to offer similarly interesting ACE classes in the Winter and possibly Spring trimesters as well. We would like to seek your input and feedback to ensure that the classes we offer are aligned with what you and your child want. Please help us by filling out a quick survey by 10/21/2022. Thank you in advance for your help!
