Parents, did you know?
*    IA students participate in a wide variety of after-school activities.
*    It takes many long hours to support all the clubs, events and programs our students enjoy.
*    Without parental help, many programs cannot exist.
*    We need YOU to make these programs successful.
*    In order to enhance the IA student experience, each parent is being asked to 
      volunteer 10 hours to the school each year.


Parents, we're asking each of you to "Give Us 10", by...
*    donating your time - 10 hours
*    working from home - 10 hours
*    chaperoning - 10 hours

Don't have time to donate 10 hours?  Then, participate by...
*    donating $10 or more worth of supplies 
*    donating 10 items to an upcoming event
*    or simply register for Kroger Community Rewards and shop with Amazon Smile and support PTIA-East as your charity in the Amazon App.  See instructions here 

Thank you for "Giving Us 10!"
