What is the PTA? The PTA is the Parent Teacher Association of Irwin Academic Center. A more important question is: Who is the PTA? The PTA is all of us: the parents and teachers who together work to enhance the life of our school. Become a member of the PTA and serve the Irwin community by working on a specific event or initiative. We also encourage your participation, to the best of your ability, in our Wise Owl Fund.

teacher appreciation week - march 18-22, 2019
Join the PTA in celebrating our wonderful Irwin Teachers and Staff for all they do! Each day, we will show our appreciation through thoughtful gestures and small gifts. Students should think about their teachers and “adopted” staff members when participating.
Please keep in mind, it is the thought that counts! Expense should not be a concern; handwritten notes are always appreciated! Below are suggested themes for the week.
In order to make this week a true success, we need YOU! If interested in volunteering for the grab and go breakfast or assisting during massages, use the signup genius listed above under Monday or Friday. If you are able to cover classes during the luncheon use the signup genius link listed under Thursday. THANK YOU!
Please keep in mind, it is the thought that counts! Expense should not be a concern; handwritten notes are always appreciated! Below are suggested themes for the week.
- Monday: Grab and Go Breakfast! The PTA will be providing a quick breakfast for teachers and staff to kick off the week. This is an opportunity to volunteer before you head off to work for the day. Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c044aa4ac23abfa7-other1
- Tuesday: Sweet and Savory Treats! Treat your teacher and “adopted” staff member! What are their favorites? Find out here: http://www.irwinpta.org/teacher-favorite-forms.html
- Wednesday: Stock the Classroom-School Supplies and Gift Cards! Look for an email from your room parent with a wish list for supplies wanted by your teacher and “adopted” staff member. Supply closets can run a little low this time of year or your child's teacher may have a special project they need supplies for.
- Thursday: Teacher Luncheon! March 21st, 11:15 am - 1:45 pm Teachers and TA’s will be treated to an off-site luncheon. Volunteers are needed to cover classrooms. There are 2 shifts to choose from 11:15-12:40 and 12:30-1:45. Please sign up for a shift or two to ensure your teacher can attend the luncheon. A total of four volunteers per classroom and several floaters are needed. Sign up to volunteer here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c044aa4ac23abfa7-20193
- Friday: Pampering and Thank You Notes! Have your child bring in homemade cards or notes. Massages and treats will be available on-site for the staff. See volunteer opportunities here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c044aa4ac23abfa7-other1

Fundraising
We are always in search of active and passive ways to support our school. While active fundraising, such as the Wise Owl Fund and other school activities, like the Fun Run, raise a significant amount of money to support school and PTA initiatives, passive fundraising is significant, too. You can make small changes to help raise money as you go about your normal day-to-day life. Visit the Fundraising page to discover ways you can help!
