ANOTHER GREAT PROGRAM THE IRONWOOD BOOSTER CLUB SPONSORS:

                                                  IRONWOOD READS

*440 students (just over 22% of our student body!) and 49 adults participated in the reading groups on Monday, October 22nd. This is a new record. Most of our 34 discussion groups were led by students.
*The vast majority of the feedback was positive, and more of our students are showing interest in leading discussions for our next Ironwood Reads.

*Our next Ironwood Reads event will be held on April 15th, 2013. We already have some titles and student leaders ready to commit for the spring event.

Steve Richard, Language Arts Department at Ironwood High School expressed a special thanks to many, including the following:
*All the students involved-please congratulate them-it was another solid turnout.
*The discussion leaders and other staff members that attended.
*Any teacher that either offered extra credit or encouraged a student to read a book and participate.
*Ironwood Booster Club for supplying the pizza for our student leaders.

IRONWOOD BOOSTER CLUB IS HONORED TO HELP SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM!

What has Ironwood Booster Club done lately?  Here's a note of thanks for a recent funding request the Booster Club fulfilled:
Just a quick note to thank you for your contribution to sending me and Paula Somers to the Arizona Suicide Prevention Conference last week. We were able to make quite a few contacts for staff trainings on suicide preventions and learn about some free resources, both national and local, that we can utilize to reach our students. It was definitely two days well spent to help Ironwood’s students and parents and we would not have been able to go without your help! Booster club is just one more reason “It’s Just Better Here”.

Jennifer Goldman, Head Guidance Counselor
Ironwood High School

What a privelege to support this need.  Thank you for your kind words Jennifer!

Volunteers are needed for the Booster Club BBQ at the October 12th Varsity Football homegame.  If you are a Booster Club member and can come help between 5:30 and 7:30 pm, please meet at the gate outside the field at 5:30.  This is a great opportunity to help contribute to a organization that provides funds for special requests and needs at Ironwood High School!  Show your support by helping with set up, cashier needs, serving food, flipping burgers or clean up!!
