WANTED! Yearbook Co-Chair Trainee for Next School Year

In 2020 Ivy Hall will be losing one of it's two Yearbook Co-Chairs as her youngest child moves on to middle school.  In order to get ahead of the game we are asking for one very lucky person to "train" next school year (2019) by "shadowing" her and learning her job.  You must commit to learning the job and giving at least one year (training next year and serving in 2020) - and hopefully more - to the Ivy Hall yearbook project.

For more details, read this previous Ivy Hall PTO BLOG! Please send a note to Melanie Gurel if you are interested or contact Mrs. Zachara in the Ivy Hall Office.
