Help put the Irving garden to bed and celebrate a great growing season!

Hello Irving Gardeners and Future Irving Gardeners!

First, thanks to everyone who helped to make the Irving garden so successful this year! All of the spring weeding, bed turning and planting; the summer tending and watering (in the face of some killer heat); and the fall harvesting and cooking helped to make this one of the most successful years to-date for the Irving garden.  Thanks especially to Reshma for all her hard work keeping things organized and getting us all moving in the same direction.  What a beautiful (and tasty) garden our school community grew!

Alas, even for those of us who strive to live in a constant state of denial that summer has ended, the time has come to acknowledge that winter is coming.  We hope you can join us to celebrate a great growing season and put the Irving garden to bed for the winter.

Message from SEOPCO – Irving Fundraiser
Dear SEOPCO Community,For the entire month of October, Culver’s, on Roosevelt Rd. in Berwyn, has generously offered to donate 10% of its profits to SEOPCO.  In consultation with Culver’s, SEOPCO has decided to donate those profits to the Irving Schoolyard Project in recognition of this project’s importance to the vitality of our community as a whole.  In order for the purchase to be credited, you must mention SEOPCO or the Irving Schoolyard Project when you pay.  So, if you don’t have time to cook, are looking for a treat for the kids or just want a fun way to support SEOPCO and the Schoolyard, head on over to Culver’s this month at 6943 W Roosevelt Rd in Berwyn.

Thank you to Culver’s for its generous support of our community and our school!
