MORE WAYS TO SUPPORT THE PTO

Looking for more easy ways to help support the great work that the PTO does for our kids and their school?  Here are two great options!

    Mabel’s Labels:  You can find your child’s things easily in the lost and found by marking them with bright, durable, Mabel’s Labels. Go to https://campaigns.mabelslabels.com/ and click on ‘Select your School/Organization and choose International Spanish Language Academy.  A portion of your purchase will support the PTO.

    Amazon Smile: Shop at Amazon?  You can have a portion of your purchase donated to the PTO!  Go to https://smile.amazon.com/ and search for International Spanish Language Academy.  Then just make sure to bookmark AmazonSmile and use it for all your Amazon shopping needs.

BARNES & NOBLE BOOKFAIR

Thank you to all the families for coming to the Barnes & Noble Bookfair this weekend!  It was fun to see all the staff, teachers and LA’s at the event too!  A special thanks to the volunteers who came to help and all the donations of books to the teacher’s classroom libraries!  We did get 100 signatures of ISLA students/families in attendance so be on the lookout for a non-uniform day to be announced.
