Staff Appreciation Week Recap

We are completing a week of celebrating the hard work and efforts of our dedicated Ivy Hall Staff.  They are shining stars, and we showered them with snacks, lunches, swag, a new Keurig coffee maker and lots of fun surprises during the week! 

You can see photos from the week on our Ivy Hall PTO Facebook page.  A special 'thank you' goes to Colleen Torf who has coordinated Staff Appreciation Week for the past five years.
