So far this year, the Irving Health and Wellness Committee (HAWC) has been sharing ideas on how to dress for the cold weather. They held a hot apple cider sale after school last Thursday and will send $150 to the American Red Cross to help the tornado victims. Thanks to all the students and especially parents who helped with the sale.

Please think about talents, items or services you or your employer could donate. Items that are always popular include:
–Sporting—Cubs, Sox, Bears, Blackhawks and Bulls or theatre tickets
–Museum memberships
–Restaurant certificates/gift cards
–Jewelry
–Use of a vacation home or time share
–Services (i.e. interior design, housecleaning, painting, landscaping, contracting)
–And those holiday gifts you may have received 2 of!!
Anything you like—chances are someone else will want it too!!
HELP!!! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: If you would like to help in soliciting local businesses for donations or can volunteer the day of the event your help would be GREATLY appreciated. Please call or e-mail me!!
The money from the Silent Auction goes directly to the Irving PTO, which continues to fund various programs to enhance the quality of education for our students and teachers. This is why we need your donations.
Donations and/or certificates can be dropped off at the school office or you can contact me directly. Please fill out the information on the back of this letter and include it with your donation. If you have any questions about your donation please call or e-mail me.
