JOIN THE IICS BOOSTERS 🐬
The PTA Booster Club is an enthusiastic group of parent volunteers who help out during the home tournaments and activities held at IICS. Our main activity is to welcome the sport teams at tournaments hosted at our school, encourage and cheer our teams and raise money by selling food and drinks to the participants and spectators. Tournaments usually take place over 1 or 2 days and involve students from either local area schools (TISL) or international schools (CEESA).
The money we raise is used to enhance the extra-curricular life of students on both IICS campuses.
We encourage new members to join us – whether or not your child participates in activities or sports. It is a fun experience and a great way to meet other IICS families!
WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW TO SUPPORT THE BOOSTERS: the first tournament of the year, TISL Middle School Football Tournament, is taking place on 11th & 12th of October.
We are calling on parents to donate snacks to sell during the tournament. The BOOSTER CLUB is looking for homemade snacks popular with the kids like cookies, brownies and cupcakes, as well as healthier alternatives like bananas, apples, veggie sticks. We always welcome gluten-free varieties of baked goodies. All baked food MUST BE NUT FREE!
Alternatively,
Volunteer a little of your time to help the Booster Club sales on 11th & 12th October. We work in shifts and you can stay as long as you can!
Please contact Vani Munian, IICS PTA Booster Club leader at ptabooster@iics.k12.tr
Looking forward to seeing you at IICS Tournaments!
