CHIPOTLE FUNDRAISER

Thanks to all those who came out for dinner at Chipotle on Tuesday night!  Your support is greatly appreciated!!!

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

Thank you ISLA families for collecting and submitting Box Tops for Education. In the past years, ISLA has purchased balls and jump ropes for outdoor recess. This year we have purchased two really nice soccer goals and we are also looking to purchase new basketball hoops. All of the money collected will help fund these improvements!

Thank you ISLA Community!

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS T-SHIRTS

Did you forget to purchase an ISLA DDLM t-shirt last year? We are offering ISLA DDLM t-shirts at a reduced price of $8 per shirt. All proceeds will go to ISLA.  There will not be any t-shirts for sale at this year’s DDLM, now’s your chance to grab one before they’re gone! We won’t be able to order more sizes once they’re gone. The sizes we have left are listed below:

Adult XL- 3
Adult L- 6
Youth L-5
Youth M-14

If interested, please email Betsey at betseypalmgren@gmail.com.
Please note: these shirts are not uniform approved but are great for events.
Also, we encourage anyone who owns a shirt to wear theirs to this year’s DDLM. Thanks for showing your support of ISLA!
