Fundraising activities enable the PTO & ISLA to fund many initiatives, including curriculum/supply money for our teachers, funding for Family Nights and extra-curricular activities, and the Language Ambassador (LA) program.  LAs are native Spanish speakers from Spanish-speaking countries who come to ISLA to help in our classrooms, familiarize the students with more native Spanish speakers, and share their culture with our students.  Thanks to last year's fundraising efforts, we have been able to bring four LAs to ISLA this year!

There are many ways to support ISLA and the ISLA PTO.  Here is an A-Z list of ongoing fundraisers.
