'All Around the World' Christmas Program
We want to thank Mrs. Burke for all her hard work on the program again this year! We are very thankful for her time, creativity, and expertise! We are blessed to have such a talented music teacher!
Family Fun Night - Mark you calendar!
Part of our Family Fun Nights will always be around "Giving Back". This year, we would like to build baskets to give to families in need in our community. Our goal is to build 25 baskets! If you can, please sign up here to bring in an item BEFORE the family fun night. We will have student help build the baskets that night!

Your family will be enjoying STEM activities, crafts, storytelling, art, and much more! We hope you can make it!
Please mark your calendar!

Fundraiser - Simple & GREAT!
We ALREADY raised $272.76!
They offer high quality items, which are fun for yourself or a gift for the holiday season. Everything gets shipped straight to you....just like ordering online from all other stores! The parent who found this opportunity loves their reusable grocery bags!
Our school doesn't have to do anything for this fundraiser besides cashing the check :) . Thanks for checking it out to see if you can do any Christmas shopping or personal shopping.
This fundraiser is going to run all school year!

Have you ever thought of being a substitute teacher? If so, we NEED you!
It's almost Thanksgiving! It's almost Christmas! Every year we scurry to make a difference in disadvantaged children's lives during the holidays. Toys, clothes, and food are all wonderful things to give children, but most of all... our children need role models.
We need people with a calling to serve others in our schools daily. Substitutes are needed who truly desire to make an impact in children's lives. It's more difficult than cutting a check or cleaning out a closet, but your interaction with students might be the relationship that points a child toward a beautiful life.
Please consider giving the most impacting gift that you can this year... yourself. If you feel moved to help our students, please contact the central office at (812)482-1801.
Box Top APP! $904.10 so far!
Can we hit $1,000 before Christmas? Have you contributed to that? If not, please download the app!
Also, if you do Wal-Mart pick up, please email your receipt to receipts@boxtops4education.com for our school to receive the box top money!
We have a school goal of $2,000. Let's do this!

Drop off in the morning - you MUST drive around the school for drop off. The front of the school is for bus traffic only. You may park and walk in your child, but by no means are you allowed to pull up and drop off in the front of the school in the morning. No dropping-off students in the parking lot, letting them cross, and come into school on their own. Our school safety officer will be enforcing that drop-off procedures are done properly.

Their username is their short number and their long number is their password - your child will know this information!
Volunteers!
Anyone who would like to volunteer at school or chaperone a field trip must submit a background check. Once this is done, it is good as long as your child is a student at Ireland. If you aren't sure if you have completed one, your child's teacher can look it up for you. Background Check Link
