Donate Games for Indoor Recess: Due January 2

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.  Find links and donation details at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.

How To Avoid The Lost & Found

Get yourself durable name labels from Mabel’s Labels, and support Ivy Hall PTO!  Mabel’s Labels has a label for all ages, and they stick to most common surfaces (and survive the dishwasher and washer/dryer!).  

To get started, head over to http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto and click on the Mabel's Labels.
