Friday is Jog-a-thon, so be sure to wear athletic shoes, your class shirt, and bring your water bottle! We are still looking for volunteers to help on Friday. Parents who wish to be spectators and not volunteers can sign up now.

This is the last week to earn prizes for fundraising. If your student is the top fundraiser from your class this week, they will get a small prize and be entered to win a chance to silly string a teacher during Jog-a-thon! More information is in the parent handout.

Sixteen classes collected over $1,000 so far, so their teachers will get $100 to spend in their classroom! Congratulations to Shepard, Busing, Scrivener, Niemi, Worthington, Moody, Lunsford, Miller, Barone, Bulluck, Iverson, Ross-Anderson, Talia, Hermansdorfer, Fritz, and York classes.

Mr. Bailey's class collected over $4,500, so his class will get $450 to spend!

The class that raises the most money from each grade by Thursday will earn a field trip lunch to Long Doggers! Here are the classes in the lead at the end of Week 2:

K - Moody

1st - Shepard

2nd - Lunsford

3rd - Bailey

3.  Please read the updated request for math volunteers. We were able to get clarification and by volunteering you will allow the teacher to have more direct math teaching time.

We are excited to be offering this two days a week for the remainder of the school year.  Parents may select a day, Tuesday or Friday, to come and have lunch with their child.  Be sure to arrive a few minutes prior to your child's lunch time.  Parents must have their ID (Driver's License or other approved forms of ID and will sign in through the office.  Students will need to return to class at the regularly scheduled time.  We request parents do not check out their child on Fridays at the end of the lunch period.  Due to limited space, it is important parents sign up if they would like to come and have lunch with their child.  

Parental involvement is so important to the success of Indialantic Elementary!

We continue to work on projects to beautify the school and support teachers who ask for help.  If you're a teacher, and you need money for a special project, please fill out a Superfund Request to be considered for financial support from the PTO:
