Irwin PTA helped celebrate the beginning of Winter Break with some special recognition for our teachers and staff. They have been rock stars this year and we want them to know how much we appreciate them! 

If you have a student who needs to enter the lottery (younger sibling for Irwin or transition year for older children), remember that the lottery closes on January 6. 

We hope everyone has a safe, happy, and relaxing Winter Break.  See you in January!

Teacher & Staff Appreciation

The PTA had a wonderful time last week showing our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them.

Because of your generosity, we hosted a breakfast, a lunch, and gave each staff member a gift bag. We also collected enough money to give Irwin’s bus drivers Target gift cards. The PTA wants to offer a special thank you to our parent volunteers for making the events possible, and Irwin’s second grade students for their holiday artwork on the gift bags.

Also, Ms. Campbell was the winner of the December gift card raffle! Irwin families, thanks again for your continued support and generosity!
