Starting with the difficult news and moving towards the good…
Our lunch program is an endangered species…
We pride ourselves on being fiscally responsible and this next message is in response to that ongoing goal. We currently have staggered lunches that last for 2 hours. A large amount of money is going into staffing lunch and is no longer affordable. We prefer our staffing be used for academic support of children.
In order for us to continue our lunch program with Rubios, Pollo Loco, Von’s Deli and Costco we need volunteers to staff lunch distribution and clean up. In exchange for volunteer work from parents, we will provide free lunch to children of volunteers. If we are unable to staff our “hot” lunch program with volunteers, it will cease to exist at the end of this month. If you are able to volunteer any time as a lunch volunteer, even just one day per week, please contact Beth@innovationsacademy.org. Let her know the day(s) and times you are able to volunteer. Look for upcoming news about this development in future calls.

Community Support
Innovations Academy has a student that has Microcephaly. I’ll bet most of us don’t know what that is. Well, September 30th is microcephaly day. For more information read this flier. Wear yellow on Microcephaly Day, September 30th, to bring awareness to this condition.
Parent Association
The IA Parent Association is changing their name to IA Parent Connection (since it is a better name for their goals and initiatives)
Help a Family
An IA family with 2 kids (grades 2 and 6) needs a ride home to Poway on W & TH and occasionally on Friday. Please contact Sofia Ramirez at sofiaramirez26@gmail.com or 619-253-5342 to help out.
