Olympic Day Volunteers Needed

It’s that time of the year again, Olympic Day!

My name is Josh Hancock and I’m the PE teacher here at Irving. I also am the organizer for our Olympic Day.

Olympic Day will be held on Friday, May 22nd!

For this great event to be possible, we need volunteers! And this is where you come in. Unfortunately we only have a handful of teachers who are free to help out due to other school day obligations, so we rely heavily on parent help for this event. This year it’s going to be on Friday May 24th. There is a morning session (grades K-2) that goes from 7:45-11:15 or an afternoon session (grades 3-5) that is from 12:15-3:00. You can choose to work one or both.

Volunteers are placed at one of the 13 stations around the school. As classes come to your station, you just have to explain and facilitate the activity. The classroom teachers and assistants will also help you out. So come on out and help Irving have another great Olympic Day! Plus, you’ll have the chance to get some fresh air and hopefully some sun!

Please email me at jhancock@op97.org if you can help out and what session you can work. Thanks again in advance for all that you guys do for this school. Without you Olympic Day wouldn’t be possible!

Thanks, the Irving Green Team

Irving Online Book Fair
We just wanted to thank everyone on behalf of the Irving Book Fair! Over 96 books were purchased from our teachers’ wish lists to help expand their classroom libraries.
The physical book sale is over, but our online Irving Book Fair continues until May 8th with a much larger catalog of books to choose from!  All books will be shipped free of charge to the school when the sale is done, and we will deliver them to the classrooms. If you missed out on grabbing a copy of Ranger In Time, Plants Vs Zombies Timepocalypse, or The Day the Crayons Quit when we ran out, here’s your chance to get one. It’s also a great way to get some end of the year teacher gifts.  Profits from the online sale get added to our physical sale’s total, allowing us to get some growth bonuses and earn more money for our library!
The online sale can be accessed at :
