Halloween Week with Irving!

Don’t forget! Our Irving Calendar has all of the latest dates, information and more, but here is your weekly “What’s Going On This Week” at Irving!

  • All week: Diaper Drive for Ms. Gina! Over the next week, parents/families will be collecting diapers for Ms. Gina, one of our front office administrators.  There will be two drop off centers – 1168 South Taylor Ave. or 942 Gunderson Ave. anytime before November 1st.  Parents/families who donate will also sign a card that will be available at each drop off location. Ms. Gina’s diapers of choice include Pampers Swaddlers, Pampers Pure and Huggies Overnites; sizes 1 and 2. Feel free to drop off a treat for Mrs. Johnson too as she will be holding down the fort while Gina is home with her new addition.  (PS: Mrs. Johnson likes all treats that are non-chocolate.)
