Back-to-School Kickoff is Two Weeks Away!
The Back to School Kickoff will be here before you know it! It's a good time and a great way to reconnect with families and friends from last year and the perfect way to welcome new families to our school! We hope to see Sunday, August 27, from 1-4pm on the Irvington grounds.
And, of course, we need your help! A handful of volunteers are needed to help this event run smoothly. Please SIGN UP HERE!
Community Care Day
All are invited to join in the upcoming Community Care Day on Saturday, August 19, from 9am-12pm at the school playground. Project Community Cares is an annual PPS tradition where school families and community volunteers clean up school grounds across the district prior to the first day of school.
No need to register for the event, just show up ready to work! The Irvington PTA will provide snacks, and please bring your own water bottle. Bring tools if you have them (e.g., work gloves, wheelbarrow, edger, broom, shovel); extra tools will be available as well. Potential volunteer needs include spreading mulch, weeding, edging, sweeping, and trimming. Our school grounds are used for lots of activities: sports, play, picnics, exercise, gathering, gardening. Let's make our school shine!
