• Irwin's annual Terry Fox Run will take place next Thursday, September 28^th during periods 3 & 4.  Great job to all the students who have already signed up to collect online pledges.   Every student who registers to collect online will be entered to win a bike from the Terry Fox Foundation and they will also be entered into a draw for a prize at Irwin School.  

• We will be holding a "Vote to Kiss the Goat" fundraiser to raise money for Terry Fox.   Students and staff can pay for ballots to vote for the staff member of their choice to kiss a goat.  Ballots are $1/each and will be sold in the foyer during morning and afternoon breaks.  Students can purchase multiple ballots to increase

their staff member's chance of having to kiss the goat!  The canidates are:  Mr. Grainger, Mrs. Thompson, Michele, Mrs. Schommer, Mrs. Painchaud, Mrs. Robinson and Miss Goodine.

• Please return your pledge sheets and money for the Terry Fox Run to your homeroom teacher on Thursday, September 28^th.   Work hard to collect those pledges.  If we meet or beat last year's total of $5,000, Mr. Darby will shave his head.   If we beat last year's total by $1,000, Mr. Wong will shave his head and Mr. Froese will shave his beard.
