Every Monday- Recyclables Collection

We Love Your Recyclables!

Raise money for IB all year round! Every aluminum can or plastic bottle donated helps fill the recycling bin in the parking lot. All proceeds from full bins go towards IB programs and training. You can safely deposit your bags recycling in front of the flagpole every Monday. Please observe social distancing guidelines when dropping off your bags.

2022-2023 National PTA Reflections Theme Search

Help us pick the theme idea that will spark fun and creativity during the 2022—2023 Reflections program! The student who submits the winning entry from California will receive $25 and the National winner will receive a $100 prize from National PTA.

National PTA’s Reflections program has helped students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.

Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts in response to a student-selected theme.

Past themes and duplicate submissions are not considered. This means we’re looking for the most original theme ideas.

To participate, please submit your theme idea online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CD23FKF by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 6, 2020.
