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.

SCHOOL SUPPLY CAMPAIGN
Can you help Stock our School? This effort originated with an idea to stock the teachers' lounge with goodies. After we asked for input, we found that the school needs some health and safety supplies, such as rubber gloves and forehead thermometers. Teachers contributed some wishlist items for their classrooms, in addition to the lounge. And we also found need for support in other departments of our school, such as ASEP and the cafeteria staff.
All that’s to say .... we need your help! Click the image below to see what you can help provide. The list is varied in nature and some are noted if they've been requested by a specific teacher. No need to shop yourself, unless you’d like to - you can easily make a direct donation through the Signup Genius. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

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!
