Get ready for Back to School Movie Night! This fun event is a great way to kick off the school year and help jumpstart fundraising for our 5th grade class. We need both volunteers during the event (short shifts so you can still have fun!) and donations of supplies (or cash if you’d prefer we do the shopping for you). Links to sign-ups are in the comments, and mark your calendar so you can be sure to attend!
This fundraiser will support activities and celebrations for the graduating 5th grade class all year long. Help us get the year started off right! Adults and current 5th grade students are welcome to sign up. Time slots are just 45 minutes, so you can help out and still have tons of fun. Thanks!

Thursday, September 18th from 7-9pm at Bobby’s Eastside in Forest Park.
This adults-only event is an opportunity to kick off the new school year, socialize with new and returning Irving families, and meet the Irving PTO. Everyone is invited. There will be light snacks and each person will receive a drink ticket for draft beer, wine, mixed drinks & non-alcoholic drinks (while supplies last), followed by a cash bar.
First PTO Meeting of the Year TONIGHT! All are welcome!
Join us in person (in the Irving Library) or online (via Zoom) at 7pm!
We will have committee updates during the first half hour, then a special presentation from Mr. Sakellaris on How to Support Your Child at Home (Always a favorite presentation! You don’t want to miss it!). We will also introduce the PTO and explain how to get involved and hear a Principal’s Update from Ms. Mura.
What does garden club do? Come and see! We don’t mind if you pop in and then head out early. Come once, come a few times, or come every week; we’re happy to see you whenever you come. Our routine: we start off with a snack and a story (that relates to gardens or plants, or what we’re planting that day), then we dig, plant, weed, turn compost and more. It’s all kid friendly and very engaging. Sometimes we have special guests, like the Oak Park Public Library Book Bike or Irving staff.
How long does garden club run? Weather permitting, we’ll start back up for the season the first Friday in April, 4/11 and go through the end of school. There is no school or garden club on Friday 4/18. (Garden club is totally volunteer run, so if we have scheduling conflicts, we have to cancel for that day. We may have conflicts on 5/23 so we’ll let you know about that, and any other dates later on).
How do I know if garden club is canceled? If it’s raining and chilly, or unpleasant for gardening, we will cancel. We always cancel if there is thunder or lightening. We will post on Irving’s Parent Facebook page, and if the weather is bad and you don’t see us in the garden after school, garden club has been canceled for that day.
Irving’s Annual Fun Fair Carnival is Saturday, April 5. This event is open to the entire Irving community, so bring your family and neighbors too. It won’t be a success without your help, though!
