2019 - 2020 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 2019 - 2020 school year. Skip 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 our Membership Toolkit website from March 1 - June 1. We do not order extras, so this will be your only chance to order! If you don't have an account yet, it's easy to get started–set up your IVY HALL PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT today!

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, SEE PREVIOUS BLOG! Please send a note to Melanie Gurel if you are interested or contact Ivy Hall Administrative Assistant Ms. Zachara
