Ice Cream Wednesday Begins August 31
Card Orders Due Sunday, August 28
The PTO distributes ice cream novelties at lunch every Wednesday to those who have pre-ordered an Ice Cream Wednesday card. Cash will not be accepted.
The Card is valid for Ice Cream Novelties throughout the fall term (August-December). All products come from Hershey's Ice Cream and meet school nutrition guidelines. A dairy-free and gluten-free option are always available. Purchase an Ice Cream Wednesday card at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.
Special Lunch
Once a month, Ivy Hall PTO works with local restaurants to bring special lunch options. Lunches must be pre-purchased. All meals include an entree and two side items and a bottle of water.
Upcoming dates:
- September 23: Papa John’s - Pizza
- November 1: Wiener Take All - Mexican Menu
- December 16: Culver’s
Place your order at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto. The form for these three dates closes on September 11. Late orders will not be accepted.
Limited Halloween Party Spaces Remaining
In an effort to include more families who can volunteer at class parties this year, the Ivy Hall PTO has redesigned the concept of room parents and party volunteers. This year, each classroom party will have four volunteer opportunities, a designated Party Planner and three Helpers. If you have multiple children, you don’t have to choose the classroom to which you want to commit!
The sign-up form for Halloween Parties is live at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto. We will be posting for volunteers for the Winter Party and Valentines Day Party about two months ahead of time. The kids love it when their parents are part of their class celebrations. As a courtesy to the other children in the class, we ask that your family only sign up for one party a year so that more children are able to have their parents attend. Once you have volunteered for a party, you can add your name to the waitlist for the classroom and will be notified if space is available.
