Irwin Park Carnival

IRWIN Park Elementary School students started the year off right on September 18 with their annual Back to School Carnival. The event, which included both parents and students, gave everyone a chance to have some fun before settling down to some serious study. There was food, music, games, prizes, face painting and the famous pie eating contest. Lots of displays and activities were also set up outside, taking advantage of the one of the last beautiful summer nights. What a great way to kick of the school year.
