Ivy Hall PTO Blog, Apr. 27, 2018

Spring has finally arrived! We can't wait to see everyone out and about for our Fundraising Day today (Apr. 27) at CULVER'S! Plan to stop by between Noon – 8 PM to enjoy lunch, dinner, or a special treat. When you do, mention you're from Ivy Hall and we'll earn a portion of the proceeds for our Ivy Hall PTO!

A huge thank you to our partners at Culver's for their generous ongoing support!
 

LAST CALL FOR VARIETY SHOW AUDITIONS!

Student sign-ups close TODAY, Apr. 27. There are still a handful of slots available. SIGN UP HERE Please download and review the VARIETY SHOW FLYER which can also be found in the VIRTUAL BACKPACK. We can always use additional parent volunteers, so feel free to continue to sign up to volunteer on the IVY HALL PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT.

Those who truly feel passionate about this event are strongly encouraged to sign up NOW for next year. There is a form on IVY HALL PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT for next year's committees and you'll find the Variety Show there. Without the strong support we generated this year, we will be in the same situation again next year!
 

ARGH YA READY TO THANK OUR IVY HALL STAFF?

Shiver me timbers, Staff Appreciation Week is coming up soon! Help us make Staff Appreciation Week something special!

Two ways to get involved:

Have your student fill out one of many notes of appreciation for their favorite "pirates" aboard the fine ship "Ivy Hall"! We can't wait to share these notes of love and appreciation with the "crew" during our week-long celebration. DOWNLOAD THE FORM today, print at home, and return to the Ivy Hall Office.

SIGN UP to donate or volunteer during the week. We have a variety of options to choose from. Please note all donations will need to be in the Ivy Hall Office by 9 AM on the day of the celebration. 
 

PLAN TO JOIN US AT THE FAMILY PICNIC

Ivy Hall's end-of-the-school-year party is just around the corner. Make sure you've marked your calendar for May 11 from 6 – 8 PM. We'll have dancing, games, photo booth, snow cones, and more to enjoy! DOWNLOAD FLYER

2018–2019 SCHOOL SUPPLY KITS NOW AVAILABLE!

We are pleased to announce that we are again offering the convenient service of complete back-to-school supply kits for the 2018–2019 school year. Skipt the last-minute shopping in August and order a supply kit for your child! Prices are competitive with local and online stores and Ivy Hall PTO receives profits from this sale that go right back into helping our school, teachers, and students. And it's EASY! Kits will be waiting for you at Meet-the-Teacher Day in August.

All orders will be placed through Membership Toolkit website now through June 1. If you don't have an account, it's easy to get started. SET YOUR ACCOUNT UP TODAY!

Questions? Contact Colleen Torf.

Attention 5th-Grade parents... It's time to start thinking about Twin Groves School Supply Kits for your incoming 6th grader. To order your kit, please go to TWIN GROVES MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT.

(Note: If you have multiple children in D96 schools, you'll be able to use the same log-in for all Membership Toolkit sites.)

* WE NEED YOU FOR 2018–2019*

We have several 2018–2019 Board and Committee Chair openings, and we are inviting all interested parents to express their interest in joining us! Please visit MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT to review the positions available and sign up if you are interested in being considered for these roles. The Nominating Committee is organizing a slate of candidates to be approved at our May 9 Board meeting, but there is still time to sign up.
