Principal Adams is looking for parents who can help with textbook distribution during the school day on September 11^th and 12th. This involves helping the office efficiently bring kids from class to office/library to check out textbooks. Morning and afternoon shifts are available. No experience is necessary, only an ISD Volunteer Background Check. Don't forget to update your annual Volunteer Application. (https://issaquahvolunteers.hrmplus.net/). Any questions please contact Rachel Stoner at rwstoner@outlook.com.

Please come help serve ice cream and root beer floats during the WEBtivity on Thursday, September 14th, 2:45pm to 4:20pm in the IMS Commons.  

This is a great way for new parents to experience the WEBtivities!

Issaquah Middle School hosts an amazing program called Walkabout.  Its purpose is to bring parents into the school to walk the halls among the students in the mornings right before classes start, during lunches, and after school as the kids are getting ready to leave.  It's easy, brief, flexible, and one of few opportunities middle school parents have to be around the kids, and allows IMS to have a positive adult presence at busy times during the school day.  You can walk alone or with another parent(s).  Once you receive training, you can choose to participate at whatever level suits you....once a year, every day, or anywhere in between.  If you're interested, please save the date for training: Thursday, Sept. 28 from 7:00-8:30pm.

Thanks to our generous friends at Issaquah Valley Elementary, our PTSA has been given the opportunity to share the profits and the work of parking cars on Salmon Days.  IVE will supply the parking spaces, the cones and half the volunteers.  This is a great opportunity for us to increase our bottom line and help our budget!  To do so, we need a chair!  This is a job for someone who likes organization, but you will have lots of board support!  Want to know more?  Contact Kristen Allen-Bentsen at kallenbentsen@hotmail.com

Did you skip over the Annual Giving Campaign step during online registration? We've all been there - rushing to complete the required steps and having great intentions to complete the rest later. Well now is the time! Please consider donating to the Annual Giving Campaign, the PTSA's primary fundraiser of the year. Your donations fund critical programs and grants that directly impact student learning, build community and support parent and teacher effectiveness. Your donations are greatly appreciated!

Do you have any students looking to get a head start on their volunteer hours? Cougar Ridge Elementary has two upcoming events where middle school students can help!

1. Help serve ice cream to students at their Back to School Social on September 5^th from 2:00- 5PM

2. Help Kindergarteners on the first few days of school getting off and on the bus (Sept 11, 12, 13th - 3:15pm - 4:00pm). Thank you for your help in advance!
