PSG PURDY'S FUNDRAISER

Our Purdys Fundraiser begins....NOW! Go get your Easter treats: IRHS Easter Fundraiser

This year, our goal is to raise $1000.00 so we need your help—but don’t worry, all the work you're doing is choosing which chocolates to order.

Stock up on beautiful Easter gift boxes, fun chocolate bunnies, Sweet Georgia Browns and more. All profits will go directly to Immaculata Regional High School. So satisfy those cravings, get all your Easter gift-shopping done while supporting a great cause.

The deadline to order is March 17, 2023

Order here: https://fundraising.purdys.com/1714623-105093

Once orders close, we’ll notify everyone when and where you can collect your treats. Please share with anyone you know who might be interested. It would help us so much.

Thank you!

THIS IS BIG... STARTS FEB 9!

We can’t help but notice many or our students are missing uniform bottoms, opting for less than perfect units. Here’s a great opportunity to fulfill the uniform requirements at a discount. 40% is a great sale and it is on uniform bottoms only. If you would like guidance on what to order, you can always see Mrs. Uhrich.

ACHIEVEMENTS

SO, A BUNCH OF GRADE 7S SHOWED UP...

Grade 7 students from St. Joseph, OLOL, and other schools came to experience a day at Immac. Paired up with grade 9 buddies, they travelled through different “classes” including Art, Science, Gym, and more. Thank you to the grade 9s who were excellent ambassadors of our school, and to all the teachers/staff/admin that made this day possible. Go Mustangs!

Lots of fun activities included "Minute to win it" games during lunch time.

No captions needed...
