NO NUT POLICY

Message from Irving Librarian

Hi Parents!

The Irving Library is looking for a volunteer to run the Birthday Book program. Students purchase books (already chosen by Ms. Noonan) for the library collection on their birthday. The Birthday Book volunteer would come to school once a week to help kids choose a book, make a sign for our wall and take a picture of each student. If you like meeting new students and taking pictures, this job is for you! I would prefer if you have your own camera (point and shoot is fine!) and can get the pictures developed after each week, but it’s not a requirement. Let me know if you’d be interested. It’s a fun job!

Thanks!
