5 pm - 8 pm
We are delighted to announce Irvin Elementary's annual Spring Fest will be held on Friday, May 31st fro 5:00p - 8:00p. Some of the Spring Fest events include bounce houses, an obstacle course, horse rides (one horse ride per armband - all additional rides will be 4 tickets per ride), games, pizza, cotton candy, and the all-time favorite, DUNKING BOOTH! Tickets are required for each station. You can buy an armband that will allow your child unlimited access to rides and attractions for the whole night. Food purchases can only be made with tickets (not armbands). Armband does not include Estimation Station.
You can pre-order your tickets and armbands prior to the event. Any armband that is pre-purchased will be sold at a discounted rate of $10. Be sure to take advantage of this savings opportunity. Children three and under can participate in the stations for free.

Armband: $10 ($12 at the door)
25 tickets: $5
50 tickets: $10
75 tickets: $15

Please complete the order form that was sent home. Once your order is recorded and filled, the tickets and armbands will be sent home with your child. If you write a check, please make it payable to WM Irvin Elementary. You will also need to make sure a current phone number is listed on the check.
Ident-A-Kid
Ident-A-Kid will be here next Friday, May 24th to do IDs for anyone who wishes to purchase one. These cards provide parents and law enforcement with crucial information should your child become lost or missing. The driver's license-like card contains your child's photograph, fingerprint and description. Parents keep this card or the eKid card with them at all times, and in an emergency, can immediately provide law enforcement with relevant information.
Nature Trail Cleaned Up and Restored by Former Student
Irvin's Nature Trail has recently been cleaned up & restored. Over the break, Austin Crabtree, a former Irvin student, worked on our Nature Trail as part of his Eagle Scout project. This is a terrific resource that our students will enjoy for sure. Have fun on the Nature Trail & enjoy the beautiful weather ahead as we welcome spring!
