Roadhouse Roll Sales

Everyone loves Texas Roadhouse Rolls! Everyone loves rolls for Thanksgiving!! How about Texas Roadhouse rolls for Thanksgiving!!!  Starting October 15th, we are selling these wonderful rolls. They come frozen in packages of a dozen and include the yummy honey cinnamon butter. They are only $6 per dozen rolls and $3 goes directly back to Iron Horse.  Sell to neighbors, family and friends. Fill out the order form and return it by Friday, November 2nd. The rolls will be available for pick up on Thursday, November 15th.

Read-a-Thon: 
We are so excited for our fall fundraiser - the IHE Read-a-thon! It is our opportunity to raise critical funds to support the school as well as promote literacy for our children. PTO choose to replace our prior fundraiser through Boosterthon to ensure that the full proceeds of the fundraising directly impact our school (previously Boosterthon took 40% of the profits).

Like all schools in the county, we have a large wish list. Last year, the funds were used towards the playground shade structure and flexible seating for every classroom. This year, we have classroom focused requests. Here is a sample of the funding priorities: Raz Kids ; History Alive ; Literacy Footprints ; Art Room Supplies ; Headphones ; Ipad Charging Stations ; Skillastics ; Playground Equipment ; Social Studies Weekly ; Special Education Supplies ; Whole School Math. All monies raised from this event will be used to fund these staff requests. 

Our Read-A-Thon will run from Nov 1 to 9th during which time will be set aside in the classroom during different themed days to promote reading. Children will be encouraged to read a minimum of 1 unit* per evening.
A Unit equals the following for each grade level:
K/1 – 10 mins
2/3 – 20 mins
4/5 – 30 Mins.

The more units read the more changes to win individual and classroom prizes.
The more the students get sponsored for reading the more changes they will have to win individual and classroom prizes.

Prize Structure & Events
 Students who read a minimum of 1 unit per day will receive Daily Prizes from the school treasure box.
