5th Grader Tribute in Irving Phone Directory

Interested in putting a tribute to your 5th grader in the Irving Phone Directory?  Wonder what a 5th grade tribute is?  How much does it cost?
Please read the FLYER for details!  Deadline is THIS FRIDAY so don’t delay!

To all 5th grade Parents:  We think it would be memorable to include tributes in this year’s phone directory to your 5th grader before they go off to Julian Middle School next year. The tribute could say anything you like such as: “Great work Joe!  You’re the big kid now!  Have a wonderful year.   Love Mom and Dad”.  The cost is $10 and will go to the Irving PTO.  All of the tributes will be printed in the back of the phone directory.  Please consider placing a tribute to your fifth grader and making their last year at Irving memorable.

Tributes should be sent by this Friday September 20th to be included in the directory.  Please e-mail your tributes to Barbara Metric at barbarametric@comcast.net. Tributes should be no longer than 2 lines (about 15 words/line).  Please send payment (cash or checks accepted) to school with your child in an envelope labeled “5th grade directory tribute”.  Checks should be made out to Irving PTO.
