events and providing goods for the PBIS program for the students. You can still help out in the
following ways:

and teachers. (see PTSO flyer on page 2)
Buy a T-shirt for only $10 while supplies last (see PTSO flyer on page 2)
Do you shop at Krogers or Publix? If so, go onto www.krogercommunityrewards.com and select Irmo Middle
School or stop by Publix Customer Service and sign up for a grocery tag. This is an easy way for our schools
PTSO to earn money!
