The Diversity and Inclusion Committee here at Irving School warmly invites you to partake in a potluck! We are hosting a Taste of Irving to celebrate the many cultures here through food and fellowship. There are several different categories to sign up for, with lots of room to get creative and share dishes that are representative of your family. We are also compiling a playlist of songs for ambiance while we dine, so feel free to comment a song you’d like to add to the rotation. Once you have signed up, you will receive further communication regarding receiving your participants’ packet. Thank you for sharing your talents and tastes with us!

***We ask that all warm/hot dishes be delivered in a crockpot or standard sized catering pan. Please plan for each dish to have a serving size of about 20 people.***

***All dishes and contents of participants’ packet need to arrive at the cafeteria by 6:00 p.m. for setup.***

The Irving community is committed to creating a culture shift with regards to gender and inclusion. This year, our administration, PTO and DivInc have worked together to bring training opportunities to staff and parents and caregivers. We are excited to bring Biz Ryan (http://lrconsultingllc.net/aboutbiz/) as trainer and facilitator to our school community.
