Sign Up for Breakfast With Your Buddy!
Breakfast With Your Buddy is a fun event for Ivy Hall students and their dad, grandpa, or other important adult! Spend a little extra time with your kiddo while you enjoy a variety of breakfast foods. Mark your calendar for Fri., Apr. 20, at 7:30 – 8:25 AM! Pre-register now for only $7 per person on the IVY HALL MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT. SEE FLYER
Only limited onsite registration will be available for $8 per person, so it's important to sign up ahead of time!
HELP WANTED! We're also in need of volunteers to help run the event. If you can help us on the morning of Apr. 20, please sign up on the IVY HALL PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT or contact Tina Piepenbrink.
Variety Show Audition Sign-Up Open!
We are happy to announce the 2018 Variety Show is back on, with a revised schedule. Please download/review the Variety Show Flyer, which can be found on the VIRTUAL BACKPACK. Student sign-ups are open today through Apr. 27. SIGN UP HERE
We can always use additional parent volunteers, so feel free to continue to sign up on the Ivy Hall Membership Toolkit. CLICK HERE TO VOLUNTEER.
Those who truly feel passionate about this event are strongly encouraged to sign up NOW to volunteer for it for next year. There is a form on the IVY HALL PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT for next year's committees and you'll find the Variety Show form there.
Without the strong support we generated this year, we will be in the same situation again next year!
Upcoming Author Visit – Barb Rosenstock
The Ivy Hall PTO is delighted to welcome award-winning author Barb Rosenstock on Mon., Apr. 23. On this day Ms. Rosenstock will talk with students about her career as an author.

Attention Parents of 5th Graders...
It's time to start thinking about Twin Groves School Supply Kits for your incoming 6th grader. To order your kit, please go to the TWIN GROVES PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT.
(Note: If you have children in multiple D96 schools, you'll be able to use the same log-in for all Membership Toolkit sites.)
* We Need YOU for 2018–2019!*
The school year is far from over, but we are already thinking about the 2018–2019 school year. We are in the process of forming our Nominating Committee, who will help us build out the PTO Board and Committee Chair roster. We have several Board and many committee chair openings, and we are inviting all interested parents to express their interest in joining us! Please visit the IVY HALL MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT to review the positions available and sign up if you are interested in being considered for these roles. If you have any questions, please contact Maria Papageorgiou or Amy Au for more details, and stay tuned to the blog for more information.
