The 15th annual Irving School COOKIE CRUMBLE and CRAFT FAIR is on Saturday, December 13, 2014. The Craft Fair is from 9:00-1:00. The Cookie Crumble starts at 9:00 and ends when cookies run out.
We need homemade holiday treats and are offering a surprise treat for the class that brings in the most cookies. There will be a graph in the hall by the office!
This is a great opportunity for families of Irving to share family traditions and raise money for important programs and improvements at the school.
Each participating family is asked to prepare five dozen of their favorite holiday cookies or confections and deliver them to the office on Friday, December 12th during school hours, or to the mini-gym on Saturday, December 13th between 7:30 & 9:00am. No chocolate chip, please. We will have curbside drop off from 8-9 in the front of the school.
On December 13th volunteers will set up the treats for sale in the mini-gym. Beginning at 9:00am, customers may purchase an empty box for $10.00 and then fill them with a variety of goodies for their holiday entertaining. What a bargain!!!
You don’t bake? No worries, you can help in another way. We need volunteers for setting up, maintaining during the event, and cleaning up afterwards!
You can sign up to bring cookies and volunteer HERE!!

Dear Staff, Room Parents, Parents, Guardians, and Students
As the Winter Holiday Season approaches, we are preparing for Winter Concerts and anticipating the joys of the season. This is a fun and enjoyable time for all, however, it can be a time of worry for children with food allergies and their families. In order to provide a safe celebration environment for the students at Irving, ALL classroom celebrations will be NUT FREE with a focus on healthy snacks and treats for the children.
As always, fresh fruits and veggies are welcome and should be promoted. It is recommended that room parents and teachers communicate before their scheduled Winter Holiday Party to identify the foods/treats that will be provided for each classroom celebration. Please inform Nurse Jamie of the food items that will be served. A good ratio of treats to healthy foods should be 1:3: One treat option for every three healthy food options.
Foods are required to have an ingredients list. Foods that are made in factories that may process nuts should not be served due to the potential for cross contamination. Please consider labeling the food items for easy identification by students. Teachers can confidentially alert room parents of any other dietary restrictions and or food allergies in the classroom so that an alternative treat can be provided for inclusion. Additionally, non-food treats such as stickers, pencils, and activities are always welcomed and enjoyed by all of the children.

Thanks to the entire Irving Community for helping to make this a safe and enjoyable holiday season for all. Please feel free to contact Nurse Jamie for any questions or concerns at jpeterson@op97.org or 708-524-3089.
