IRC MAGAZINE FUNDRAISER STARTING THIS THURSDAY!!!!

TERRY FOX NATIONAL SCHOOL RUN

TERRY FOX NATIONAL SCHOOL RUN DAY:  FRI., SEPT. 25, 2015 @ 1:15 p.m.

This year will mark the 35^th  Anniversary of the Terry Fox Run!  Last year our school raised

$ 5, 562.90!  All staff and students are encouraged to wear the colours RED and WHITE on this day.  Each month this year, we will be having a different monthly spirit day on the same day as our Character Education Assemblies (the last Friday of every month)!

This year, IRC will commemorate the 35th Anniversary in an exciting and fun way by doing the following:

1.     All students will be rewarded with a 15 min extra recess period if our school raises more than last year’s total.

2.     There will be a draw in the office for 2 Terry Fox T-shirts (1 for a primary student and 1 for a junior student).

Important: This year, all donations must be done on line.  No cash and/or cheques will be accepted at the school.  Donating on line is fast, easy and eco-friendly! On line donations will provide parents and families with the opportunity to donate whatever amount they wish for this most worthy cause.

 To donate on line:

Every child will walk with their individual class that day for approx. 20-30 min.  Each classroom teacher will be given a designated route around the IRC community. The time and/or distance around the route will depend on the range of ability of the students in the class.  Ms. Braz and Ms. Fenton will be taking  the junior gr. 4-6 students who are on the Cross Country Running team on a run vs. a walk for this event.  All other students will walk their classroom route with their teacher. Our event starts at 1:15 p.m.  Parent volunteers are most welcome to participate and provide extra assistance with the supervision of students while walking in the community.  If you would like to join your child in this event, please speak directly with your child’s teacher.

HEALTHY LIVING WORKSHOP

AN UPDATE ON THE IRC SCHOOL FIELD

The field was on regular rotation for watering over the summer.

The TDSB watering crew was at IRC today to saturate the field further.

The fence will be up for approximately another 3 weeks. 

The fence is scheduled to be left up for a full three month period from the date of sod installation. (Sod installation took place in June 2015)

We’re hoping to be able to use the field this fall!

Thank you to everyone for their patience and cooperation during this work on our field.
