Purchase Leis and Raise Funds for IBL!Started by two Pacifica parents, Bliss Original Creations creates handmade leis from specialty yarns, cording and ribbons as keepsakes. Unlike fresh leis, these are popular because they are lasting mementos to commemorate special occasions.
It is customary for friends and family members to present congratulatory leis after the ceremony to graduates and their friends. Graduates often give out leis to their fellow classmates as well. It’s a great way to give the gift of love and joy! Through the Bliss Gives Back program, Ingrid B. Lacy will be participating in a lei fundraiser to raise funds for the school. IBL will receive a donation equal to 10% of all pre-tax sales. Any and all lei sales (even orders for non-IBL leis) can be credited as an IBL sale ... so be sure to identify IBL when placing your order!

Counselor's Corner
Thank you to those of you who came out to the Screenagers screening on January 26, 2017! We hope that you were able to walk away with some new skills and strategies around digital safety and screen time. For those of you who didn't have a chance to attend I have attached a copy of the parent guide (located on the Screenagers website), a sample family screen time agreement, and some helpful resources and apps. Many of us as parents and educators struggle to navigate these types of situations. Luckily we are not alone! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns around this topic.
Sincerely,
Meghan Neuberger
IBL School Counselor
