WHERE DOES YOUR PTO MONEY GO?
There is never enough money for our schools. This means groups like the PTO have to step in to help make sure our kids and teachers have what they need. For the 2023-2024 school year the IBL PTO is providing our teachers and staff with money to supply their classrooms (up to $500 each!!), supporting each grade with field trips (some off site some brought to IBL) and special events like 'Greek Fest' for 6th grade, Challenge Day for 7th graders and is helping with 8th grade graduation activities among other things! We also provide free Popsicle Days for the entire school, provide yummy snacks and food for our teachers and staff and transform our grounds with the Beautification Effort!
HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT US?
Our goal is to support our school by NOT having a fundraiser every month-this wears us and you out! We concentrate on a few big fundraisers along with some minor events. Here's what you can do:

- MAKE A DIRECT DONATION: You can make a tax deductible donation directly to the PTO using the link above or you can drop a check to the office made out to IBL PTO. See if your company matches donations!! Any employers who match donation made by their employees can double, triple, or even quadruple any contribution!
- Buy those raffle tickets for our 'BIG THREE raffle' in the Spring!
- Support our Fireworks booth in the Summer! This is a big part of our yearly budget and unfortunately, sales were down this past summer. There is also a ballot measure to possibly ban all fireworks so this may go away altogether!
- COME TO IBL ROCKS in the Spring!!! Also, we need donations-reach to IBLPTOinfo@gmail.com if you can help. Buy tickets above!
- Buy IBL Spirit Wear! We want to show our BULLDOG spirit and a very small amount from each purchase helps the PTO.
- Most importantly-come to a meeting, email us at iblptoinfo@gmail.com with any questions or suggestions and volunteer at an event! We need you and there are lots of ways to make a difference throughout the school year!
Support your School Library!
