YEARBOOKS ARE HERE!
 
The 2012 -2013 Yearbook that your Yearbook volunteers, Birgit Aarrestad and Heather Ross and the many valuable parents who submitted photos, will be here soon. If your child missed the opportunity earlier this year to pre-order a book, they will be on sale next Friday 6/14 and Monday 6/17 during lunch. The yearbook captures so many of 2012-2013 school year memories like the Bear Lock Down, Variety Show, Field Trips, teachers, volunteers, school Clubs and the everyday learning and zaniness of school life at Issaquah Valley Elementary. Don't miss the chance to purchase this great yearbook for $20. Checks can be made out to I.V.E. PTA.

WHO DOESN'T LIKE CHOCOLATE CRAZY CAKE??!
 
The school year is almost gone and so are the last of the IVE PTA Cookbooks. Did you forget to buy yours or would like to get one as a gift for someone special? The last day to get one will be Friday, June 14th. If there are any left, look for a table set up at the ice cream social where you can purchase one. They are $15 each. Alternatively, you may send an envelope with payment (checks made out to IVE PTA) enclosed to school. Please label the envelope with the following information: "COOKBOOK," your child's name, teacher name, and the number of books you wish to purchase. Books will be delivered directly to your child's classroom after your payment is received. Don't delay--they are almost all gone! Contact Tiffany Aske with questions.
