Pack a Zero Trash Lunch

We know first hand from last year (since staff took out the trash) that our kids create lots of waste. The average student creates 67lbs of trash each school year. You can help bring this number way down (helping the environment and the staff) by packing a zero waste lunch.

One way that you can do that is to look at the Green to Go products. They came to our school last year and were very popular. They will be back on August 30th at our orientation. But, you can order now if you'd like.

For more info on packing a trashless lunch, watch the video:

Education Conservator

fundraising progress

IA is kicking off a great new fundraising program, read below or click here.

Innovations’ Education Conservators preserve and invest in our Clubs, the Arts, Media, Physical Education, and Science curriculum that provide our students with learning opportunities that have been undervalued and dissolved from public and even private schools. Our goal for the 2010/11 school year is to have 100 Education Conservators join us in contributing to this program.

Innovations Academy, a free K - 8 public charter school, creates happy and vibrant learners. Our students know the joy of making a contribution in their classroom: 5th graders learned about geometry through building a play house for their younger peers, 3rd graders understood economics through opening a school store, and 4th graders contributed to developing nations through micro- financing. By engaging students in real world projects and opportunities, we develop well rounded, collaboratively minded, and creative problem solving members of society.
