Winter Party Sign-Up Opens at 9 AM Saturday
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: one Party Coordinator (who will also attend the party) and three Volunteers.
The sign-up form for Winter Parties will be live at 9 a.m. Saturday, December 3, 2022, for PTO members only at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto. If you’re not yet a member, you can become a member at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.
We ask that if you or a member of your household volunteered for the Halloween Party, that you add your name to the waitlist for the classroom; you will be notified if space is available.
Volunteer for Ice Cream Wednesday & Special Lunch
Volunteer Opportunities for Ice Cream Wednesday in January, February and March will be live at 9 a.m. Saturday, December 3, 2022.
We ask that each family only take one volunteer position per half of the year to allow other families to participate. You may wish to add yourself to the waitlist, and we will contact you if a slot open up or someone cancels.
Sign up at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.
Winter/Holiday Gifting Made Easy!
As Winter Break approaches, consider contributing toward holiday gifts for your child's teacher, aide, or other school staff. Ivy Hall PTO is working with GiftCrowd to coordinate these gifts.
To participate, click on the GiftCrowd link at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto. Select the recipient and click "Join." On the next page, you will be able to select the amount you would like to contribute, and write a personal message, if you would like.
Recipients do not see the individual contribution amounts, only the total of all gifts. Recipients can select their gift in the form of a gift card from hundreds of online and physical stores. Contributions will be accepted through December 22 at 3 p.m.
Donate Games for Indoor Recess
When it's cold outside, recess is held inside. Let's help restock the classrooms with new games to play! Shop Amazon Wish Lists, shop in store, or donate cash! Donated items will be distributed among grade level, and may not be designated for a specific classroom.
Games will be distributed to classes after winter break, around January 5, 2023. Find links and donation details at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.
