Please remember to renew your membership, it makes a difference to our school and community. If finances are tight this year, a single membership is a huge support to us. Go to isptsa.org, and sign up to help us reach our next goal of 50% membership. We need about 295 members to make that goal. 

Can't remember whether or not you already renewed? Please contact Meribeth at membership@isptsa.org to find out.

Looking for a way to help out International School? We are seeking people willing to run with a goal, lead successfully, keep to a mission, and help build a community. We are looking for a potential leader to take on the role of President-elect for ISPTSA.

P.S. We don’t really meet with world leaders, but we are The International School.

Contact president@isptsa.org.

We are excited to be able to continue to offer school pictures this year. To ensure safety, this will be an outside event that will take place at a different location (not at International School—see below).

IS SNOWFLAKE DONATION DRIVE 2020 STARTS THIS WEEK!

Winter is approaching, the spirit of giving is here, and you know what that means . . . it's Snowflake season! The Snowflake Donation Drive is an annual International School tradition to gather donations for charitable organizations. This year, the needs are high, and we need your participation and support more than ever. We are partnering with Jubilee REACH (physical donations) and Hopelink (online donations) in our own effort to do more for our community. 

Due to COVID-19, Hopelink has decided to exclusively receive our online donations through this fundraising page: IS Hopelink Fundraiser. Our community goal is $5,000, so let's try to reach it! Reach out to your friends and family to help us meet our goal! 

Jubilee REACH aids families in our community and through their Groceries for Families program, and we will be collecting physical donations.

The drive-thru days to drop off food at International School are:
