Book Fair is coming!

Calling all Irving Readers!

Book fair is here and Reading is Out of This World!  Now we need your help to make it even better than last year!  Below is the schedule of when we need volunteers.  We sold approximately 1200 books last year and we are shooting to sell over 1300…every hour you can help will get us closer to our goal!  Let me know when you can help…feel free to work more than one shift if you can. Please arrive 30-15 mins. ahead of time so you can get settled.  I will email you the day ahead so you are reminded of your shifts.

Email me back ASAP…we need 1 person during school hours and 3-4 people after school to make this happen!  We will even have 2 checkout lanes again!  Yeah!

Room Parents Needed – Please volunteer

Looking for a volunteer opportunity within your child’s classroom? Please consider becoming a room parent.  We try to have three room parents per class.  The commitment is what you make of it–as much or as little as you feel comfortable giving.  We welcome ALL returning and new parents to this network of volunteers.  If you have any questions regarding the work involved, please e-mail Laona Fleischer at lafleischer@sbcglobal.net. Thanks for your consideration, Laona Fleischer and Jen Purrenhage.
