Irving’s annual Tom Rutz Memorial Food Drive begins this week November 9-13. Our goal is to collect food items for the Food Bank of Lincoln. Bring your items to your 1st period class. There will be a competition between grades 6, 7, 8. Suggested food items are cans of fruit and vegetables, canned soup, instant potatoes, boxes of mac and cheese, cereal, grape jelly, peanut butter, and 100% fruit juices. Each food item earns you 5 minutes of community service. So please record this on your timecard and have your 1st period teacher sign this for you.
This is Spirit Week.
