Volunteer for Valentine’s Party By January 27
Our final party of the year, celebrating Valentine’s Day (a day early!), will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, February 13.
If you’ve wanted to volunteer for a party this year, and have not yet had the chance, don’t miss out! Sign up at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto by Friday, January 27.
Each party will be allowed one Party Coordinator and three Party Volunteers. To ensure all interested parents have an opportunity to attend a class party during the school year, we ask that if a family member volunteered for the Halloween or Winter Party, that you please add your name to the waitlist for your classroom.
We are here to help you along the way! We can help you develop games, crafts and other age-appropriate classroom activities, in consultation with your classroom teacher.
