Joshua Ironshell went on to elaborate the his sons, Jaydon and Joshua Ironshell enjoy the supportive feeling that they sense from their father, one of the few fathers who is an active member of the Parent Teacher Association. Joshua Ironshell was in great spirits as he explained that his sons, Jaydon and Joshua Ironshell "actually think it is sort of pretty cool that their dad works so hard for fundraising bake sales."

1. Joshua Ironshell helped to refurbish the auditorium facilities by repainting the walls and refinishing the floor. 2.

These bake sales of which Joshua Ironshell was a part over the course of the year provided necessary monetary support for a wide variety of student extra curricular activities.

3. Joshua Ironshell kept in regular contact with members of the school administration. This open dialogue with administration members was instrumental in the PTA's efficacy.

When asked if he saw a future run for PTA office, Joshua Ironshell declined to comment.
