Scavenger Hunt at Whole Foods – THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 ONLY!

On Thursday, November 1 Whole Foods is donating 5% of sales to the Irving Schoolyard Project!

To support this effort over 30 teachers and staff from all District 97 schools volunteered to have their pictures placed in Whole Foods near their favorite food. You can find them! Go on a scavenger hunt to find them while also shopping to help the ISP! Get the full list of teachers when you come in the door, write down their favorite food when you find their picture, and enter the raffle to win a gift card from Whole Foods Market!  If time is an issue, please consider using their personal shopper (fee waived this day). All you do is place an order at least 48 hours in advance by emailing mw.rvf.marketing@wholefoods.com or calling 708.366.1045 (ask for Concierge Lauren) and then pick up your fulfilled order that day at a time specified by YOU! So head out to Whole Foods Market in River Forest on Thursday November 1st.

The Color Run

Some of you may have noticed my hair was a little greenish this week. That was some color left over from the Color Run that I ran on Sunday with Ms. Arroyo and Ms. Saliny. It was a 5K race where the runners got powdered with color throughout the course. It was a lot of fun!

Student Artwork featured at the Oak Park Housing Center Fundraiser

The Oak Park Regional Housing Center hosted their annual benefit on October 5th at Unity Temple. The organization assists families looking for apartments in the area and works towards creating lasting and meaningful diversity in our community.

To act as a visual representation of this diversity, student self portraits from Irving School were selected and displayed during the event. Students' whose portraits were chosen received a discounted invitation to the fundraiser.
