Visit terryfox.ca/omirwin to set up your fundraising page. 
• Mr. Kohlman and Mr. Biem have agreed to help us out with fundraising for Terry Fox this year. Students can purchase a ballot for $1 each and vote for their favourite fundraising stunt that Mr. Kohlman and Mr. Biem will have to perform. These are crazy stunts like having to spend a day on the roof of Irwin School, performing a musical number in front of the students, or letting the students choose their outfits for a day. Ballots will be sold during morning and afternoon breaks in the foyer for middle years students. Elementary students can purchase ballots from their teacher. Students can purchase as many ballots as they like. 
•  Please return any pledges and pledge sheets to your homeroom teacher by September 27th. Last year Irwin School raised over six thousand, six hundred dollars, and this year if we raise $7000 or more, Mr. Darby will dye his hair, and the class with the most pledges will get to choose the colour!
