THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS!

The PTO thanks you for your support!  Dia de los Muertos was a big success!  Our largest attendance ever!  The PTO would like to thank all the volunteers who made this event happen. Your generous spirit is the foundation of ISLA.  We are grateful.

A very special thanks to ISLA parent, Amy Siggelkow Duffing, owner of 3 Peas Photography, who donated her time and professional talents at the photobooth. We'd also like to acknowledge the support of Tim Owens from Hopkins High school, his students and ISLA alumni volunteers who ran many of the activity stations during DDLM.  We could not have staffed the event without them. These kids deserve a pat on the back for their volunteerism! They are leading the way and setting a perfect example for our kids to follow.  

Please join us for our next family event, Service Project Night.  Look for details in January.
