Big Chance for Box Tops!

Would you like to give Indian Springs a chance to win $50,000? General Mills is sponsoring a contest, and the grand prize is 500,000 Box Tops for Education. That's the equivalent of $50,000 for one very lucky school. Let's try to make Indian Springs that lucky school!!

All you have to do is go to www.thebigclip.com and enter your email address. The winner will be randomly selected on November 1st. Plus, you can enter everyday to give ISES even more chances at winning. Just imagine what our school could do with $50,000!

Thanks to Chrissy Pierce, Refunding Co-Chair, for submitting this post!

The First Annual Indian Springs Elementary Open House

When 5:00 finally arrived on Friday, August 7th, the anticipation was over as everyone was able to see who would be their teacher and classmates.
We had a great turn out for our very first ISE OPEN HOUSE.
Many took the opportunity to join the PTA and get thier name in the drawing for a ISE T-shirt!
Spirit items went on sale! The new design was a big hit.
The PTA along with ISBC youth provided a hot dog plate with lots of goodies...drinks, popsicles, popcorn, and . . . WATERMELON!!!!
After the food the students and their families took the time to meet up with old friends and have some fun!
Students and parents were able to check out classrooms and meet with teachers.

Fall 2009 Spirit Items - Unveiled!

We will have the following exciting line-up of spirit items available for sale at the PTA Food & Fun from 5-7pm on Friday, August 7th. We will have a limited inventory on-hand, but we can order what we run out of. Sales will conclude at 7:00pm sharp since we all need to get inside for our Open House orientation meetings. We will be selling the remaining inventory before school on August 10-14th alongside the journals in the library. Again, we will be happy to order for you what we don't have in stock. But if you want your items sooner rather than later, come out to the PTA Food & Fun this Friday from 5-7pm and get them while they're hot!

As you see, we have a completely new design this year to keep things fresh and exciting. Our short-sleeve t-shirt is a fun tie-dye with a distressed gold ISE logo. This shirt is $12.


Our other apparel items are done in a solid maroon with the same distressed gold ISE logo. The long-sleeve t-shirt is also $12 (same price as last year).


Like last year, our sweatshirt is $15.


A NEW item this year is a hoodie sweatshirt. These are $20.


Another NEW item this year is a very handy school calendar magnet. Are you confused by all the new inservice days this year... not sure how you'll keep it all straight?? Well, buy one of these babies for the fridge at home and one for the filing cabinet at work and you'll never be caught off guard! These are only $5 and will be well worth it, we think! We would like to thank our sponsor, Ideal Storage, for sponsoring these magnets so that PTA earns the full $5 on each magnet sold!

If you did not get your ISE car magnet last year, we still have a few in stock. These will also be $5.
