Join us on May 8th from 5:30-8 for the Sunflower Festival dinner and silent auction! We have SO many special donors, such as the Seattle Aquarium, The Museum of Flight, and Yakima Play Cafe! For dinner, we will be serving Broski’s brisket, we will have a baked potato bar, and several delicious sides to choose from! We also plan on holding our dessert auction again, as the sweet treats were a big hit last year 😊.
We are so excited to celebrate our wonderful year here at Ida with you, as well as pay homage to our roots as Ida Nason Aronica’s namesake…Let’s show Ellensburg how our Mustang Community can show up!!!!

More information should be coming home in your child’s backpack soon, and we will post more here on ParentSquare as the event gets closer!

Here is the link to buy tickets:
($20 to buy an adult meal and $10 for a child’s meal?! That’s a deal for Broski’s brisket even if aren’t interested in the auction!!!)

We have officially almost made it to 83% of our goal! 7 classes have officially met their class goal! And Mrs. D***s class is currently in the lead! THAT. IS. AMAZING! We are SO close, you guys!

Don’t forget we have extended the deadline because there are several classes who are still just a donation or two away from meeting their goals, too! The link to donate will be open through the weekend, so please check out the leaderboard at the link below to see who might need a hand, and KEEP SHARING!

We are so proud of you, Mustangs! A big THANK YOU to all of you (or your friends/family) who have been able to help out! We can do this! 💙

Invest in Ida Campaign

Good news! We have decided to keep our fundraising campaign open an extra week! It will now close Saturday March 7th. Link to donate:

https://givebutter.com/ScFQaT

There are several classes who are close to meeting their classroom goal, and we want to give them extra time to reach it. Currently 6 of our classes have surpassed their goal and have earned a special activity with one of our staff members.

We are also 74% of the way to our total goal. If reached, the whole school will earn rock n’ roll recess hosted by The Burg with popsicles!

We appreciate each donation we have received so far. This money will allow us to continue to provide free Ida shirts to new students, have monthly events, improve our playground, and support clubs and classrooms.

Hey mustang fam!

We are SO proud of our community for hitting the halfway point of our goal! We knew it would be a tough task, but we are proud and excited of what we have achieved together. 💙

A BIG shoutout to Mrs. Bair’s class, Mrs. Picha’s class, and Mrs. Durham’s class for surpassing their classroom goals! 🎉

Mrs. Riley’s class, Ms. Wedekind’s class, and Mrs. Zenisek’s are all past the halfway mark, and Mrs. Horrocks’ students are hot on their tails!

This is the final week for our donation drive, so let’s finish this thing MUSTANG STRONG! Keep sharing, keep telling all of your friends and family, and most importantly….let’s not forget that the proceeds from this drive go back to all of us in the end. 🤍

Our Santa Night is one of the founding events that has turned into an annual tradition, and for good reason! With a mix of fun family friendly activities and an opportunity to meet the big man himself…it’s become a time honored tradition that we hope to continue for our Ida community for years to come ❤️🎅🏼🎄

We are grateful that we got to kick off the holiday season with our Ida family last week!
