FAMILY / HOLIDAY CARDS!!

We want to see ALL of our amazing ISLA Family’s faces as we walk into the school each day!!

If you have a family photo card you are sending out this year, please consider adding ISLA PTO to your list! We’ll be decorating the entryway with all of your beautiful photos as the cards start to arrive!!

Don’t have a card? I’d be happy to help your family create a card (any holiday/New Years or maybe just a color theme your family enjoys) to hang at the school!! Thank you so much to those that have already sent theirs in!! And please always feel free too reach out with any questions!

Upcoming Restaurant Nights

Jan 11th, 2025: Applebee’s in Eden Prairie for a yummy Pancake Breakfast– This will be our second year taking over Applebee’s… Applebee’s opens early for us as our ISLA Community comes in bright & early for a yummy pancake breakfast– The restaurant is closed at this time, so it’s just us in there, slinging pancakes & OJ (the cooks at Applebee’s do the actual cooking & we serve plates, drinks and of course, enjoy the yummy breakfast with friends)!

We’d love to have you & a friend help us sling those pancakes– Grab a slot to serve and then stick around to eat breakfast with your family & friends!  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0D4FA4A62AA1FF2-53970567-flapjack
