Plastic Bottle Cap Collection
IR has an outdoor bottle-cap mosaic mural hung on the exterior of the 3rd-grade pod. Many of the caps/lids are faded or have become brittle and broken from the weather elements. 4th-grade students have recommended that IR update and replace several caps on the mural. This is what we intend to do and we need your help!
For the month of October, we are requesting families to collect and donate plastic bottle caps of all colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, white, grey, and black). The caps can be of different sizes and collected from various plastic bottles, peanut butter lids, detergent lids, etc. Please rinse and wash the caps before sending them to IR. Students may drop off their plastic caps/lids in the bin located in the IR lobby between October 1-29. Thank you for your support!

Did you know:
There are many different flu viruses & they are constantly changing
October is the best time to get your flu shot
Both seasonal flu and Covid are contagious respiratory illnesses, but are caused by different viruses
Getting a flu shot does not protect you from getting Covid
It’s okay to get your flu shot AND your vaccine for Covid, at the same time
Symptoms of both viruses are very similar-click here to compare symptoms
Remember if you become ill with flu or covid-like symptoms, stay home and contact your healthcare provider for guidance!
