    * Highlights from January PTSA Board Meeting:
     
    • We announced that Dr. Laura Kastner, noted teen expert, is coming to IMS:  Mark your calendar for Monday, May 17, when Dr. Kastner, psychologist and author, will present her "Getting to Calm:  Cool-headed Strategies for Parenting" seminar at IMS.  This is an exceptional parent education opportunity sponsored by the Issaquah PTSA Council.  Plan to join us and look for more information in the coming months.
    • We endorsed "Excellent Schools Now," a coalition of education, business, and community organizations in Washington which is seeking legislative changes to qualify our state for the Race to the Top federal grant program.
    • We shared that Laurie Foreman has volunteered to shape and lead our new community outreach program, inspired by the Issaquah Valley Elementary Angel Program.
    * Levy Update:  As of Wednesday, February 10th, all three levies were passing by a healthy margin. Thank you voters!
