  • We accept:

    • Board games, strategy games, card games, and puzzles

    • Gently used, complete sets that are well packaged to keep all pieces intact

    • Suitable for school-aged audience and family-friendly themes

  • Donate what you can. Take what you need. You do not have to donate in order to take one!

RECYCLING CAMPAIGNS

  • Stationary Recycling

    • Got old markers, crayons, pens and other stationary lying around? You can now bring them to our school's dedicated collection drawers outside of Principal Siam's office, and we will take them to a local drop off point for recycling.

    • Items accepted: pens, pencils, markers, sharpies, highlighters, crayons, rulers, empty glue bottles/sticks.

    • This is an ongoing effort and you are welcome to drop off your items any time.

  • NexTrex Plastic Recycling Challenge

    • We have dedicated bins from NexTrex on the school site for plastic film collection - near lost and found, copy room, and staff lounge.

    • EVERYTHING MUST BE DRY AND CLEAN

    • Items accepted: plastic film, grocery bags, case wrappers, bubble wrap, plastic shipping envelopes, ziploc and other reclosable bags (for full list, please see attached flyer).

    • Gather items at home and bring them to school.

    • A magnet went home with each student before the break. You can also download the flyer attached to this email for the list of accepted items.

    • If we collect 1,000 lbs by 12/31/26, we get a free Trex Bench for the school!

 

NOMINATING COMMITTEE – VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

  • The Nominating Committee plays a vital role in ensuring strong leadership for our PTA. This committee identifies and recruits qualified members to serve as officers for the upcoming year.

  • We're looking for 3 committee members plus 1 alternate to serve on this year's committee. Members must be current PTA members in good standing. The time commitment is minimal – the committee meets as needed between now and mid-February to develop the slate of officer candidates.

  • Important date: The committee must submit its slate to the membership at least 28 days prior to our March 18, 2026 election meeting – which means the slate is due by February 18, 2026.

  • If you're interested in serving on the Nominating Committee or would like to nominate yourself or someone else for a PTA officer position, please contact parliamentarian@imaipta.org.
