WE NEED YOU! For 2019 - 2020 PTO Positions!
Ivy Hall PTO loves our volunteers! Wouldn’t you like to feel the love?
Without the help of engaged parent volunteers, Ivy Hall PTO is unable to run our most popular events and fundraisers, which directly benefit our school and community. Please consider giving your time to help by volunteering. Join the Board or a Committee next school year!

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 BLOG POST (scroll down in post to view)! Please send a note to Melanie Gurel if you are interested or contact Ivy Hall Administrative Assistant Jodi Zachara
