The November PTO meeting will be held on Wednesday November 4th at 6:30 pm instead of November 5th. We have made this change because the Irving Trivia Night is on November 5th at the Wire.
Thank YOU — from The Fun Run Team!
The PTO wants to thank all parents, students and staff for making our Fun Run Wednesday a huge success!
The Fun Run has become one of the PTO’s biggest fundraisers and we are thrilled that this year we raised over $16,000. Our goal was $10,000! These funds help the PTO to cover scholarships, academic enrichment and facility updates like the basketball posts, staff lounge, and new water fountains (coming this year).
More importantly, this was a record year for participation. Almost twice as many students brought in donations of any amount than in the past. There were many $1 donations and change from piggy banks. Our kids love their school and it shows.
Please send any additional donations to the front office via your child’s teacher.
Prizes will be announced after next Wednesday to give people a bit more time to get donations in.
Thank you!
The Irving PTO
