Inspired Families Association

Inspired Families Association

The Inspired Families Association (IFA) is the parent/caregiver organization at our school. The IFA is open to any family member who has a student at Inspired Teaching Demonstration School.

Mission:
The IFA is dedicated to promoting our students’ educational success and overall well-being by engaging and empowering families to advocate for their children and support the school’s overall mission. Together we can become a powerful voice for our students and help to create a nurturing environment for every child.

The IFA supports the following activities:

Social Committee: plans and supports 2-3 school-wide gatherings (fall fest, game night, international fest) and monthly “third thursday” coffee get together.

Staff Appreciation Committee: coordinates activities throughout the year to to show appreciation and celebrate our wonderful educators and teachers at ITDS (thanksgiving potluck, holiday gift drive, teacher appreciation week, etc)

Fundraising Committee: implements fundraising efforts to help fund the needs identified by the school (inspired evening, spring giving, auctions, etc)

Recruitment Committee: assists with the promotion of the school to prospective families and helps to welcome them once they join our community.

Room Representative Coordination: recruits room reps (similar to room parents) to help organize grade-level activities and support individual classrooms

Leadership Team:
While all families at the school are members, we are always looking for more “active members” to participate in accomplishing the goals of the IFA and help us to create new ones. Each year a board and officers are elected and take the lead in IFA activities. Four school-wide meetings are held each year.
