Mother/Daughter Event
IES PTA invited all the super cool Maverick Girls and Rock-n-Roll Moms to a pajama party and
our Locks of Love "Big Haircut Event" last Friday, March 5. Moms and daughters wore their
pajamas and had yummy pizza and drinks. The girls also brought their American Girl Dolls or
favorite stuffed animals and enjoyed a fun craft, a nail polish and colored hairspray center, and
visiting with their school friends. We had 14 Mavericks (and 3 moms) who had been letting
their hair grow all year to donate to Locks of Love. Excitement was in the air as the countdown
started and scissors began cutting off all the ponytails. Channel 11 News and the Keller Citizen
came out to report on the event. Some of the girls will also be on Good Morning Texas on
Thursday, March 11, at 9 a.m. to show off their new haircuts during a segment on kids helping
kids. IES PTA is so proud of our Mavericks "giving back"!

Yearbook Committee Needs Your Pictures!

just click on the yearbook link for instructions. Pictures can be submitted until mid-March. If
you haven't ordered your yearbook yet, there's still time. Pick up an order form at the front
office and turn it in by March 31. Let's make the 2009-10 yearbook a work of art and also have
every student represented!
Hollywood Night Dance
A great time was had by all who attended our Father/Daughter & Mother/Son Dance on Friday,
February 19. Everyone walked the red carpet and pretended to be a star. There was great
music and dancing, pizza and drinks sold by the 3rd grade for their upcoming Sky Ranch trip,
and lots of fun souvenirs. If you had pictures taken on the stage, check out Marco Gabaldon's
website (www.gabaldonphotography.com) to view and purchase them. Thank you to all those
who helped make this event a wonderful memory for our students.
