October: Counselor Corner Monthly Update
We have restarted our shoe recycling program! Please bring in your old sneakers (only accepting athletic shoes) to the main office and drop them in the bin. Not only are we raising money for our school, but we are saving tons of materials from the landfill. Thank you!
Walk + Roll to School Day Wednesday
The Green Team invites all Irvington students to try walking, biking, or rolling to school on Wednesday, October 4!
Join a walking group:
8:25am - NE 7th & Stanton
8:25am - NE 7th & Thompson
8:20am - NE 24th & Brazee (this one meets every Wednesday!)
If you live too far to walk or bike, consider parking a few blocks away and walk in from there. There will be some small prize giveaways & snacks at school for all!
The Fall Festival Is One Week Away
Join other Irvington families -- past and present -- next Friday for carnival games, bounce house, face painting, hot dogs, snacks, prizes, and more! The whole family is welcome to come and enjoy this free community event -- Friday, October 6, 3:30-6:00.
Many, many volunteers are needed, so sign up here to see where you can be helpful to make this event possible and fun for all!
Look for Hungry Harvey at drop off every morning next week waiting for your student to feed him! He is hungry for prizes and unopened, individually wrapped candy to be used at the Fall Festival! Pro tip: this is a great way to regift good condition party favors and prizes. Donations can also be brought to the school office prior to the festival date. Email ptapres@irvingtonschool.com with questions or to coordinate.
Fun Run
We are very excited for the First Annual Irvington Fun Run on Thursday, October 12! The run builds community, supports our school, and enables students, staff, and caregivers to have fun together. Our goal is to have a 100% participation rate in the run - all students run, and fundraising is optional. The funds raised during the Fun Run will be used for field trips for all students!
Read all about it in the handout found in your student’s Friday Folder today, or at www.irvingtonschool.com/fun-run-2023/. Sign up to volunteer here, and/or start your online donation portal here. If you’re fundraising, we have 2 weeks to get pledges before the run on October 12, and then 2 weeks to collect your donations afterward!
