PTO Volunteer Fair:  April 12, 2022

 

Maria Papageorgiou Book Fair and E-Wallet

Our Spring Book Fair is planned for April 25-27.  Classes will visit the Book Fair during the week.  Please set up an E-Wallet (preferred payment method, see below) or send cash or check (payable to Ivy Hall PTO).  Preview the Book Fair information at https://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.

The preferred payment method is on E-Wallet.  E-Wallet is an easy way to let your children purchase items at the Book Fair without worrying about sending cash or a blank check to school. If you had an E-wallet balance from the fall, it is now a gift card balance. You can log into your Scholastic account and transfer it back to an E-wallet. Sign up for E-Wallet at https://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.
