Welcome Back Ivy Hall Families!
We hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing Winter Break! As we march on into the second half of the school year we would like to welcome you to join the PTO. There are many opportunities to share your talents with the Ivy Hall Community. The PTO is a vital part of Ivy Hall School but we need your help to continue to provide experiences for our children. Please consider joining us as a Board Member or a Committee Chair. We have many positions open. Yearbook, Family Picnic, and Kids Art are all endangered committees. We need volunteers to help chair these committees or they will not be offered next school year. Please consider generously sharing your time and talents with the Ivy Hall Community.
We hope you will come join the Ivy Hall PTO. We are very grateful for all of our wonderful volunteers and the helpful teachers and staff at Ivy Hall School. Welcome back and have a great year!
