Join us on Saturday, December 15 for the second chapter of Irvine Talks. This special event was created by a small group of passionate students from each of our high schools who envisioned providing the community with a night of performance and creativity with a purpose. Through the medium of student created stories, art, music, poetry, and immersive performances, the community came together to celebrate and explore what it means to be human. www.irvinetalks.com
Parent and community donations to IPSF’s Educational Excellence Fund provide Irvine schools with people and programs that make a difference in your child’s education. You have the power to ensure our schools remain at the top by making a tax-deductible contribution to IPSF today.
Your participation at any level makes an impact and will be doubled by the City of Irvine. It is only with the support of our entire community that we can make a difference. Please pledge your support today to keep Irvine schools excellent at www.ipsf.net/eef.
To Our Wonderful Vista Verde Families!
Our Red Ribbon Week was a huge success and it couldn’t have happened without your support and generosity. PTA wanted to thank all Vista Verde staff, students and parents for all of your hard work in supporting our school’s Red Ribbon Week. As a school we surpassed our fundraising goal and participation at Red Ribbon week @ Ruby’s. PTA is very excited to share our schools fundraiser and Ruby’s Participation results!
Pennies for Prevention:
Last year Vista Verde raised $30.00 towards prevention education during Red Ribbon Week. This year, Vista Verde’s school goal was to raise 50 pounds worth of pennies. Our school went above and beyond our original goal and brought in a total of 474 pounds of pennies! Vista Verde will receive $474.00 dollars toward prevention education and all of this was possible because of your generosity.
Pennies for Prevention Raffle Winner:
Congratulations to this year’s Red Ribbon Week Pennies for Prevention Winner: first grader, Alesia, in Ms. Gornbein’s class. She will receive the “Choose Kind” T-shirt! PTA wanted to thank Alesia and all of our Vista Verde students for their participation in our Pennies for Prevention Fundraiser and supporting our school’s commitment to making healthy choices.
Red Ribbon Week @ Ruby’s:
An extra special thank you to all our families who made it out to our Red Ribbon Week Event at Ruby’s! It was great to see all our families together enjoying an evening out to celebrate Red Ribbon Week.
