  • Join us for a fun-filled playdate where kids can enjoy accessible playtime which has been designed with your children’s needs in mind using Mr.Tim’s expertise (D97’s Adapted PE Teacher). This is an inclusive playdate where children with and without disabilities engage in play together. It is our goal to help build relationships between all students. Please note this is not a drop-off activity. In fact, we are hoping this is an opportunity for parents to get to know other Irving parents.  Please RSVP by Friday, December 13th by completing this form: https://forms.gle/LhfYSgMJCGWUJDpM7
