Thursday Folder Flyers:

End of Year Staff Gifts:
Would you like an easy way to purchase a gift for the staff at Iron Horse? Our PTO has a great new way to give to everyone on your list. Here's how it works - click on the link below, determine how much you want to give to each staff member (in increments from $1-$15), total the amounts, and pay on MySchoolBucks. Staff will have the opportunity to determine the gift card that they would prefer and will receive a gift card worth all of the funds collected along with a personalized card with all students/family names who donated listed. This is an easy and quick way to get this off your list! All funds are due by May 17th in order to allow time to process and purchase the gift cards.
