PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR SENIOR ACTIVITIES 
 
If you're a parent of a senior, please consider joining one of our many committees to help make our seniors' last school year memorable. We're looking for more volunteers to help with commencement, senior celebration, senior/staff lunch, grad night party, fundraising, etc. Please email seniorcommittee@isptsa.org if you're interested in helping. Let's make it a great year for our senior students!
   
SENIOR DONATIONS
 
Wish to donate money to help facilitate the senior activities that take place all around graduation?
 
There are many lovely traditions that have been part of the IS community since we graduated our first class. Each June, as our Senior Class prepares to graduate, the community of IS joins together to help support the celebrations that are part of this special time. This allows the families of our graduating seniors the ability to focus on celebrating their graduates and also gives parents from other grades a chance to see what’s ahead. All of us on staff are so proud of our seniors and we look forward to celebrating with you! Many of us have known these students since they were 12 years old and it’s been wonderful to see them grow, learn, mature, and blossom in our community.

Below is an outline of the contributions each grade makes to the culminating graduation events. Your help is needed in various ways including: provide tasty treats, volunteer to assist in hosting an event, or contribute a monetary donation. This is also one way to get an insider’s look at  what it will be like when you have a senior.  I hope you will be able to help us—soon it will be your family’s turn to honor your special IS graduate!
