PTO News
Hello Parents,
We hope you have had a fun year with activities the PTO provided. Maybe you attended some of them? Uniform Swap, Roller Skating, Farmstead, Dine to Donate nights, Movie Nights, Dances, Fun Food, etc.
This September we are having a Family Fun Carnival which takes many hands and we would like to invite you to meet and help in areas you are great at. We have a Main coordinator but he will have several items to delegate.
Please contact us if you are interested in any way in helping, whether it is items from home, during the summer, when school starts, and/or the day of the event. We need your help. Contact us by emailing iacspto@idahoartscharter.org. Our last Carnival was in April 2022 and was a huge success. If you weren't there, you want to be for this one, so save the date on the flyer. It will run from 4-8pm. You don't need to stay the whole time when helping. We plan to have rotations.
Other ways to stay connected is our weebly site, iacspto.weebly.com and our facebook page
