Get a sneak peek at yearbooks and help Mr. Schumacher!!
This year’s yearbook advisor Mr. Schumacher needs help adding the supplements into the 800 yearbooks. The supplement is 4 pages and has one strip of glue that needs to be carefully added to the back of all yearbooks. He is looking for about 4 volunteers. We are not sure exactly how long this will take, but based on previous years 4-5 people should be able to get it done in one school day. We need to finish it by next Friday to give our bookkeeper enough time to finish processing the books. So any school day between now and June 9th is fine, we will pick a day that works for the most volunteers.
With summer quickly approaching, it is time to think about Tools4School ! And the Issaquah Schools Foundation is excited to share a new donation opportunity !
By partnering with Apperson Class Packs, donors can fill a backpack for $25 ! The school supplies in the packs are chosen by the Foundation, so every student will have the quality basic supplies their teachers ask for. And it’s easy ! All donated packs will be delivered to the Tools4School event by Apperson. Donate a pack, and you are done ! In August, the packs will fill brand new backpacks, so every student is ready to learn next year.
Mr. DeBroux is looking for volunteers to help inventory the school library over the next couple of weeks. Timing is flexible. Please contact Mr. DeBroux at debrouxb@issaquah.wednet.edu to find out more or to schedule a time to come in.
