Monday Reminder

Sponsor a Child in Need: NHS and the PTO are looking for volunteers to help buy a Christmas present for children living in orphanages. Please visit the “Giving Tree” at the main gate before or after school on December 1 and 2 to pick up a heart. The hearts contain the name, age, clothing sizes, and gender of the child who will be receiving the present. Gifts should be wrapped and sent to school with the heart attached no later than Wednesday, December 9. The gifts will be distributed to over 100 children at the Orphanage Christmas Party on December 11.

Food Drive: National Honor Society is organizing IA’s Annual Christmas Food Drive. We would like the IA community to have an opportunity to show our great appreciation for everything that the IA janitorial staff does to keep our campus beautiful, safe, and well maintained. NHS is asking for your help in collecting non-perishable food to present to the janitors before our Christmas holidays. Please encourage your child to bring any donations to their classroom before December 16th. We appreciate your support and help as we try to make this year’s food drive a great success!
