Jammie Jam – Friday, November 22

Student Council is sponsoring an after school dance to support the Sweet Dreams For Kids Foundation.  This foundation helps provide pajamas for children that have prolonged stays in the hospital.  Please come in your pajamas to help support this awesome cause with us on Friday, November 22 from 6:30 – 8:00 at Irving School!

The cost is $5.00 for your first child and $2 per additional sibling. Parents are free of charge, however, a donation would be greatly appreciated. Entrance fees include one complementary drink and snack.  Every family must have at least one adult present.

Finally, everyone in the school is encouraged to wear their pajamas to during the day on November 22 to help get us excited for the dance!

We look forward to jamming in our jammies with you!
