QSP FUNDRAISER BEGINS THIS THURSDAY!

The IRC QSP Magazine Fundraiser  begins this Thursday September 29 through to Wednesday October 12. A portion of the proceeds from every subscription sale goes back to our school and helps us fund various school initiatives like technology for our classrooms and sports equipment for our gym! Don't forget subscriptions also make great gifts! Consider purchasing one for a friend or loved one for this upcoming holiday season - it's a win-win! 

Information packages will be sent out with students this week. Please place your orders online at  www.qsp.ca. Our School Online ID is 3721206.  We have set our fundraising goal this year to $10,000 and we need your help! Simply log on and select Indian Road Crescent Jr PS and search for your child's teacher's name and grade BEFORE shopping so your child gets credit for the sale. 

There are great prizes to be won, including a collectible Garfield keychain for each magazine subscription you sell!  To assist in your fundraising efforts, don't forget to send emails to friends and family, encouraging them to order a magazine subscription.  

Thank you for supporting IRC!

The first Parent Council/School event is our “Meet the Teacher/Curriculum Night” scheduled for Thursday Sept.29th from 4:00- 6:30 p.m.

Volunteers are needed to assist with the BBQ/Meet the teacher portion of the evening.  

If you are available to help out, please let us know!
We look forward to seeing everyone Thursday.

2016/17 New Parent Council Executive

Thank you to all the parents who attended last week's first Parent Council Meeting of the school year!

It was a little longer (and hotter!) than usual, but first meetings of the year tend to be. But for those of you who were there, you saw first hand the important role parent council plays in supporting our school. These monthly meetings are where important decisions are made and previously raised funds are allocated to various school programs, classrooms and initiatives. These decisions directly impact all of our children at the school so the more parent voices we have in the room the better the students' needs are represented - so PLEASE try to attend!

Coming to parent council requires only as much commitment as you are able to give. You do not have to take on an elected position or volunteer for anything if you don't have the time/means to be able to contribute, though it is thanks to hard work of the various Chairs and Volunteers that we are able to fundraiser and provide for our school in the ways that we have.  Just being a present voice and vote at the meetings is a very valued contribution!  

Meeting minutes will be posted here as soon as they are available. Stay tuned!

We have also elected the new Parent Council for the 2016/2017 year:

Chair- Amy Then

Co-Chair: Bobbie Habisreutinger

Secretary: Sara Martin

Treasurer: Stephanie Cardwell-Clitheroe

Co-Treasurer: Ron Lyman

Ward 7 Rep: Joe Costa
