ANNUAL CAMPAIGN - LAST CHANCE FOR 2016!
Don't forget to make your gift by December 31 to claim a tax-deduction for 2016. When you donate to IPSF, your donations go directly back to IUSD to support Irvine schools in critical areas including teacher and instructional staff salaries, music, STEAM, teacher grants, and health & wellness. In addition, the City of Irvine has generously committed to matching every donation to IPSF - dollar for dollar. This means that with a $50 donation, $100 will go toward your child's education.
 
As a token of our gratitude, when you donate $50 or more, you will also receive a commemorative IPSF hot/cold beverage tumbler that has been generously sponsored by SoCal Elite Sports. In addition to the cup, our restaurant partners throughout the city will be offering FREE beverages in the coming year.
 
Thank you to the hundreds of generous supporters who have already contributed to the IPSF Annual Campaign! Click here to view our Donor Honor Roll. 
INNOVATIVE GRANTS PROGRAM
IPSF is pleased to offer teachers and staff in the Irvine Unified School District the opportunity to apply for funds through the  Innovative Grants Program  including the Innovative Teaching Award Program (ITAP), Innovative Counseling Award Program (ICAP), and the Mega Innovative Teaching Award Program (M-ITAP). The purpose of this grant program is to support innovation in schools by awarding funds to enhance curriculum and improve the educational experiences of students.
 
Applications for Innovative Grants Program are now being accepted through January 30, 2017.



PARTNERS IN EDUCATION 
Great schools don't just happen - it takes a community dedicated to education to make a difference! Thank you to Jim Rome, critically-acclaimed sports talk show host and IPSF President's Circle Leader, for being a partner in education. Mr. Rome showcases why supporting IPSF is critical to sustaining educational excellence in Irvine in our new PSA commercial, now airing thanks to our generous partners at Cox Communications.

SPRING BREAK FAMILY TOURS  

IPSF has teamed up with See America Travel for the second annual Spring Break Family Tours! This year, we are offering two 6-day/5-night family tour options, departing from Irvine in a deluxe motor coach and traveling throughout the Southwestern United States or Northern California. Participants will learn about nature, geology, animals, history and interesting anecdotes regarding the places that we will be exploring! Students in grade K-8 will gain valuable experience and knowledge that they can apply in the future. By teaching children to discover and respect the nature preserved in our National Parks, we are shaping well-rounded future citizens.
 
The Spring Break Family Tours will be April 2-7, 2017. Sign up by January 15, 2017 to secure early bird pricing. Space is limited and we will be reserving seats on a first come first serve basis.
