Irving’s Green Team is participating in the Re-Create Eco Art Exhibit, sponsored by Downtown Oak Park. The pieces are being displayed at DTOP businesses (this link has the list: http://downtownoakpark.net/special_pages/re_create.html) and you can vote for your favorite at those locations. The winners get a zero-waste pizza party! Announcement of the winners will be April 20, so be sure to go vote this week!

Note from Nurse Jamie About the Dental Clinic
Due to the overwhelming response to the Free Dental Clinic at Irving, the dental team from the Children’s Clinic will need to return for an additional 2 days to provide care to the students who were not seen over the past 3 days. A total of 161 students turned in consent forms which is the largest number of students ever to be seen by the Portable Dental Clinic. Once the dates have been established, an announcement will be made to staff, students and parents to inform of the schedule. Thanks so much to the Irving staff, student, and families for supporting this wonderful community health service.
