BSF Spring for Schools Benefit Luncheon |
|
 Hello Everyone,
We had a wonderful time giving out treats to celebrate our 100% membership with the students. Now we are going to have a party for our membership with
Hats off to IS.
The ISPTSA is having their annual fundraiser "Hats off to IS" on
April 21st from 7:00-9:30 pm.
Tickets will go on sale April 2
nd
.
Please take a moment to mark your calendar for this fun event as a community builder and also a fundraiser.
I encourage you to come and attend the documentary Angst that is being shown for free this Tuesday. When ISPTSA viewed the Screenagers movie, our turnout was light but the subject stayed around to this day as we all deal with the pull of the phone. I think Angst will be the same way. Only through our PTSA fundraising does IS have the opportunity to show these important films to our community. Take advantage of this and also plan on supporting our school at the fundraiser and party on the 21
st
.
Best
Meribeth Nordloef-Pedersen
ISPTSA President 2017-2018

uesday,

The film includes discussions with mental health experts about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects, as well as help, resources and tools. Following the showing, we'll have a
question and answer session about anxiety and teens with Dr. Laura Kastner, Ph.D., a clinical professor in the department of psychology and the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at U.W.

SAT SUMMER PREP CAMPS AT TYEE MIDDLE SCHOOL
There is a local opportunity to take a
1 week SAT prep camp this
July at
Tyee Middle School (for students entering grades 8-11).
Wise Camps (a non-profit) usually offers academic (mostly science & math) camps for younger campers, but last summer we had so many requests for an SAT Math camp, we offered one and it was extremely popular. So this summer we decided to add an SAT English camp as well based on camper and parent requests.
The SAT camps will be offered the weeks of
July 16-20th and
July 23-27th. More details and registration information are at
www.wisecamps.org.
