Garden club spring kickoff

It’s Spring and that means GARDEN CLUB is starting back up! Join us this Friday 4/21 right after school for our spring kickoff!

Help Irving’s Garden Club celebrate Earth Day and welcome spring into our garden. There’s something for everyone! We’ll start cleaning up the garden to get ready for early planting; we’ll check out our mulch bin, see what insects we can find and learn how we compost; we’ll take a field trip around the school to pick up garbage and help beautiful our shared space. Learn about native (to Illinois) plants and why they’re worth celebrating. Finally, we’ll cover our R’s and Z’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, and Zero Waste.

Garden Club is free and all are welcome! **The only requirement is to come with your grownup, as otherwise we don’t have enough adults to help keep kids safe while we work with tools.**

Questions? Contact our gardening extraordinaires, Denise Frank and Alix Strunk

Fun Fair this Saturday

Saturday is the DAY!

Come one, come all to the Fun Fair, and in between carnival games and snacks, don’t forget to stop by the silent auction and raffle area on the Irving “porch” outside the main office doors!

In this exciting corner, you can bid on a chance to be principal or teacher or librarian for a day, hit the museums with Mr. Packer, do nails with Ms. Gibson, or golf with Mr. Daniel. You can have lunch at Pete’s with Ms. Blackney or have Mr. Blecha come to your house to read bedtime stories!

And while you’re at it, why not take home a basket filled with the best Candycopia has to offer (plus a toothbrush!), everything you need for family game night, an instant Mexican fiesta, Squishmallows galore, or bubbles for your bath and your glass?

Some of these items you can bid on in the silent auction, some will be for raffle, and for some of the teacher parties, all you have to do is sign up. Oh – and you can help decide which Irving staffer gets a pie in the face at 3:30 too!

Cash or online payment via the PTO website will be accepted for baskets. Tickets are cash only and available for purchase this week and at the fair. 

Irving’s Got Talent show begins at 1pm, followed by the Fun Fair at 2pm and a sensory hour at 4pm. See you on Saturday! 

PS! We could use a few more 4th and 5th grade student volunteers – please sign up if you can!
