The Fun Run is October 21, during the school day.
Our Fun Run is one of the Irving PTO’s biggest fundraisers and we need your support! Help your child raise donations through small or large flat pledges from friends and family. Over the last 3 years, we’ve raised $30,000 for school activities, and our goal this year is $10,000.

Look for the pledge envelope coming home this week in the Tuesday Packet. It has instructions on how to collect donations with cash, checks or online. Your child can start asking friends and family for donations today!

Register to accept online donations here.

The classrooms with the highest pledges and the most participation each earn awards!
