It’s time to start looking under your couch cushions!

Irving Book Fair’s 3rd Annual Classroom Coin Challenge

Monday, April 18 – Thursday, April 21

Bring your loose change to your class April 18-21 and compete to see which homeroom can raise the most money!  The winning class will get to come to the Book Fair with their teacher the week of April 25th and use some of the funds raised to pick out books for their class, make some suggestions to Ms. Noonan for books for her to pick out for our library, and pick out books to donate to Parenthesis Family Center.

Scholastic Books will match our monetary donation by giving books to two non-profit organizations, Kids in Need Foundation and Kids in Distressed Situations, Inc.

Please be sure not to send in foreign coins or game tokens.

FREE Summer Meals at YMCA
The Oak Park YMCA will be the host site again this year and it is FREE for all kids toddler to 18 years of age.  The food pantry will provide activities ranging from yoga to movies, to crafts and ping pong and even nutrition activities with volunteers that have been trained to administer the program.  All kids will receive a FREE meal and the program is about 90 minutes during the lunch hour.   Last year it was 12-1:30pm. The program will run roughly between mid-June to mid-August.  There is no registration that is required and kids can drop in whichever day they want and come as often as they want during the duration of the summer.
Below is some information about the Summer Meals program for your information as well.
