Student Council will be selling Irving Cookbooks to benefit the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry (http://www.oprffoodpantry.org). Many families submitted a recipe to our cookbook and it looks amazing! You will find almost 100 recipes in 7 different categories. Don’t miss out!

They will be on sale on Wednesday, May 28th from 2:00-2:15 right outside of the main office. They will also be on sale during the lunch hour on Thursday and Friday, May 29th and 30th.
