Art Docent Program
|
The Art Docent Program is volunteer-led art instruction. Docents lead approximately eight lessons a year in grades K-5. Our lead docent provides volunteers with lesson plans and prepped materials, as well as guidance on how to make art a great experience for all students. Not up for leading art for your student's class this year? No problem! We also need lots of art helpers to work with students and assist our docents.

Bingo Night
|
Our annual Bingo Night is always lots of fun! For the last several years we've hosted "glow" bingo, meaning you should definitely plan on wearing neon. Check the PTA website for info before the event.
 |
Book Fair
|
Our twice-yearly Scholastic book fairs give students, families and school staff the opportunity to add to their at-home and classroom libraries. We rely on volunteers to run cash registers, assist students and organize our Scholastic store.
 |
Cougar Store
|
Cougar Store is where IVE students get to spend their hard-earned Cougar awards! The IVE PTA coordinates the store in partnership with school staff. We rely on generous donations from families and community members to help stock the store; you'd like to contribute, please visit our Amazon wish list!
 |
Fun Run
|
Our largest annual fundraiser, the fun run raises much needed funds for all of our programming. This program emphasizes the importance of teamwork, being active, thinking of others and believing in yourself to reach your goals. And most importantly, this program is FUN! We encourage all students to participate and need lots of volunteer to make the event a success!
 |
Gardening Program
|
Our PTA gardening program serves first-grade classrooms every winter and spring. Students learn about plants and community while practicing simple gardening techniques using sustainable methods. To volunteer as a garden docent for your first grader's classroom, or to help care for our community garden, please get in touch!

K-2nd grade students are invited to participate in the PTA holiday choir! Students practice once a week starting in November, then have a joint performance with Cougar Chorus in December. Look for registration info starting in October.

Math Night

Our annual Math Night is a fun, immersive experience where kids solve puzzles in an escape-room environment. Teams work together to unravel the mystery!

The IVE Multicultural Fair is a family event filled with fun and multicultural entertainment. Does your family have a tradition you'd love to share with our community? If so, consider hosting a booth at the Multicultural Fair!

Salmon Days Parking Fundraiser
|
Every October during Issaquah's Salmon Days festival, the IVE parking lots host our second-largest fundraiser of the year. This fundraising event brings in thousands of dollars in parking fees to support PTA programs. Volunteers play a vital role; just a short shift as a cashier or lot attendant makes a big difference in our school community. Email for info on this year's event!
 |
Science Fair
|
IVE always shows up in a big way for Science Fair, one of our largest family events of the year. Students hypothesize, investigate and share their learnings in this student-led night of STEM.
We want students to have fun with science, so the IVE Science Fair is all about exploring, experimenting,
and finding answers to the questions that pop up in curious minds. Students can work on a project by themselves or grab a few lab partners and get to work. With a world of experiments at their fingertips, the possibilities are endless!
 |
Trunk or Treat
|
We are always looking for "trunkers," volunteers who creatively decorate their car trunk and hand out treats at our biggest community event of the year! We also need volunteers to help set up our "Trail of Treats" attraction on Dodd Field. Email for more info and to receive the sign-up for this year's event.
