Pumpkin bowling and dressing up as scarecrows... just another normal day at IP 😂

Irving Pertzsch kicked off the long weekend with its first-ever Roary’s Golden Ticket Showdown! Students competed in pumpkin games, races and even a “dress the scarecrow” relay. Along with having fun, the assembly's purpose was to also recognize all the positive behaviors and kindness our students have shown during the first month of school. Way to go, Hilltoppers! 👏

A big shoutout to all the staff members who continue to find fun and creative ways to celebrate our students’ hard work. The joy in that gymnasium was on another level, and it’s in large part thanks to the time and effort this team puts into creating experiences like these. We appreciate you, IP! 💜🤍

No school tomorrow. Enjoy the long weekend, Ona! 👋
