Today, our Parent Council cooked up an incredible Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings! 🥧🍂🧡

They had a goal of making sure every student received a big Thanksgiving meal while also helping students learn about the journey from food to table through the work we do in our school garden. 🌱🥕🍎

Thank you, Parent Council, for creating such a special experience for our students and for encouraging us to pause, reflect, and talk about what we’re thankful for. Your generosity, kindness, and heart truly make our school community so special.

How can we even say “thank you”?! You spoil your school family so well! We are incredibly grateful to you. 🧡🦃

HUGE Thank you to Arrowhead Camp, Websters Beacon, Henrietta's Pine Bakery Inc., Robinson's General Store, and Baysville Country Store for making this possible.

❤️ Thank you, Lake of Bays! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We are so grateful to the and the Lake of Bays Fire Department for supporting our 42nd Annual Terry Fox Run at Irwin MPS! Your support helps make this special day possible for our students and our community. Our students are learning that when a community comes together, we can make a difference.
Today, we stand with Terry Fox and millions of Canadians in the fight against cancer. We run to remember Terry’s courage, determination and dream of a world without cancer, and to continue the work he began. Thank you for helping our students run, remember, and make a difference. 🍁❤️
