Marvelous Monday

Students brainstormed what kinds of behaviors make us courteous, cooperative, and committed members of the Irving School Community. Our end-of-the-year picnic at Miller Park on May 21 will be for students who show these skills each day. As of right now, everyone in my class is attending. We will send out permission slips at the beginning of May with more information.
