Be a Part of Jaguar Pride

  • Indian Ridge has a deep history of active and passionate volunteers. The core of this passion is the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO). Every year, the PTO inspires experienced parents, along with a new group of incoming parents, to support the dozens of activities that make our school so special. If you are interested in lending a hand, your creativity, or your experience, the first step is to register with Broward County Public Schools as a volunteer. While the PTO can direct you to specific volunteer needs, here are the main programs that always require extra support:  

    Box Tops for Education: Something has to happen with all of those Box Tops that make their way to IRMS. Twice a year -- October and February --box-tops for education the collected Box Tops are sorted, packaged and sent for redemption. Over the years, our school has earned over $18,000... with your help we can help that number continue to grow.

    Health Screenings: Every September, we need volunteers to help administer basic health and body mass index screenings for the entire school. The program is one week long and volunteers can sign up for individual days.

    Dream Catchers: A holiday gift-giving programs where IRMS families help other IRMS families have a happier holiday season. Contact Andrea Tower from the staff directory for more information.

    Jaguar Jog: A Fun Run & Dance held at the school and is our biggest event and biggest fundraiser of the year. The Jaguar Jog relies on a full team of volunteers in the morning prior to the event and throughout the day of the Jog and dance. 

    Hispanic Fair Ambassadors: This Saturday event is perfect for working parents.
