Win a Mallard watch through Irving fifth-graders!

The prize is a set of his-and-hers Mallard watches donated by The Last Windup in Bozeman and valued at $135 each. Tickets cost $5 for one or $20 for five.
Mallards are tough but elegant watches created by the Jules Borel Company. The winner can choose the color and type of watchbands.
The winning ticket will be drawn Friday, May 20, 2011. The winner does not need to be present to win.
To purchase a ticket, visit the Irving School Carnival on May 14 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. or find an Irving fifth grader, or e-mail mallardraffle@gmail.com

Irving International Day featured in Chronicle
For 10-year-old Pushya Krishna from India, Irving School's International Day celebration on Thursday was pretty cool."I think it's the best thing that ever happened to Irving," the fifth-grader said. "Everybody respects everybody's culture."
The 23rd annual event was held to celebrate Irving School's diversity with singing, dancing and wearing traditional costumes. This year it was moved to the Hawk gym at Bozeman High School, which offered better seating and acoustics than the Willson gym for the more than 400 family members who attended.

Irving fifth graders featured in Chronicle NanoDays article
They're usually told to think big, but during NanoDays Monday, Bozeman fifth-graders learned to think small.
The students from Irving and Whittier elementary schools experienced the tiny world of nanotechnology through 15 different hands-on activities at Montana State University's Strand Union Ballroom.
NanoDays is part of a nationwide effort to educate the public about nanoscale science and engineering. A nano represents one billionth of a unit. MSU scientists work with nano-sized particles to develop new drug delivery systems, alternative energy sources and new computers.

Irving's Garden in Bozeman Magazine
http://bozemanmagazine.com/family/kids/irving-elementary-how-does-your-garden-grow
With garlic, spinach and winter wheat all in raised beds at Eighth and Alderson, Irving Elementary is somewhat reminiscent of the first recorded school garden in the United States; Roxbury, Massachusetts, 1891. During the first two World Wars it was considered a patriotic duty of the students to work in the school garden. Since the age of technology, schools have focused primarily on preparing the students in this area and the school gardens have fallen by the way-side. Irving Elementary started their school garden in the Spring of 2009, when the fifth grade class learned to test the soil for nutrients under the direction of volunteer Gallatin Gardener Club member, Don Mathre. The third and fourth graders planted the garlic and spinach last fall. The school also has apple and plum trees on the north side of the building that were planted three years ago.
