Volunteers must be pre-registered and district-approved before signing up.

Your time makes a big difference — thank you for helping keep our students healthy and ready to learn!

THE DETAILS:

Friday, October 24, 6-8pm at Issaquah Middle School

Every student gets 5 bingo cards upon arrival, with the chance to snag more by donating to our hygiene drive (details below). Don't worry, parents - our event is fully supervised by IMS staff and community adults. Feel free to drop off your kids or stick around for the fun! While bingo cards and prizes are exclusively for IMS students, we've set up a special area where parents can hang out and connect with other families.

Hungry? Grab two slices of Frankie's pizza (cheese, pepperoni, or veggie) and a drink for just $5 (cash or cards accepted).

DRESS TO IMPRESS:

Students, break out those costumes! Enter one of these categories to win awesome prizes: Scariest, Funniest, Most Creative, or Best Character.

WE NEED YOU:
Monster Mash Bingo is always a huge hit, and we're expecting a full house! Help make this night unforgettable by volunteering. Sign up here:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084EA9A82AA5FACE9-58668214-monster#/

CALLING ALL BAKERS:

We've got two sweet opportunities! For the bake sale, drop off your individually-wrapped, store-bought or homemade goodies at the IMS office before school ends on Friday, October 24. Remember, our bake sale depends on your delicious donations - no treats means no sweets for our hungry zombie horde! Want to show off your baking skills? Enter our contest! There are separate categories for adults and students, with grand prizes for both winners. (Note: Contest entries won't be sold at the bake sale unless individually wrapped for distribution). If you would like to participate as a baker, please contact: Jadineying@gmail.com

PAMPER THE PANTHER!

Hello Homeroom Families of Beck, Blair, Cottom, Eisenhauer and Hamon!

Each month Homeroom classes take a turn in providing a treat/lunch for the staff. For the month of October the theme is Monster Mix-Trail Mix bar. The PTSA will be setting up a fun spread for the staff to enjoy with your contributions.

Thank you for contributing to not only a fun lunch for the Panther Staff but also for providing an opportunity for them to gather and build their community. They love having a fun meal prepared for them by the families of our Panther Community!

We will be collecting the items on October 28th-29th, a few days prior to the event, to give us time to fill in the gaps and prepare for the luncheon. You can drop off at Ms. Hansen's desk in the office at IMS.

Here is the sign up link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4FA8AE2FA0FDC07-58771998-staff

If you'd like to contribute but can't make it to the store or the school, you may also contribute via Cash Donation: PAMPER THE PANTHER
