Incredible Talent, Bravo, Bravo!

Congratulations to all of our Wildcats who participated in the return of the Ivy Hall Variety Show!  We were so impressed by all of the acts!  Who knew that the Ivy Hall community had so many interests and skills? 

Special thanks to Mrs. Dolan, PTO Board Member Sanja Komanecki, and all of the volunteers who helped make the Variety Show a success!  We can’t wait until next year!

WAIT:  We need your photos!  Do you have photos from the Variety Show?  Please send them to [email protected].

 

Still On Our WishList

There are stil items remaining on our wish list: Help us thank the Super Hero Ivy Hall staff with dinner before conferences!

Family/Educator Conferences are around the corner.  Let’s thank the Super Hero Ivy Hall Staff with a delicious dinner, filled with super foods and super treats on March 23. 

We’ll provide the main courses – can you help us and donate sides, drinks and dessert?  Sign up and visit our Amazon wish list at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.  Donations due by March 21. 

 

Deadline April 2 to Purchase Special Lunches

The deadline is approaching to purchase Special Lunch for April and May.

Once a month, Ivy Hall PTO works with local restaurants to bring special lunch options to students at school. Lunches must be pre-purchased.  All meals include an entree and two sides items.

Upcoming dates:

  • April 25:  Wiener Take All ~ Baseball Home Opener
  • May 22:  Papa John’s ~ Pizza Party

Place your order at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto. The form for these two dates closes on April 2. Late orders will not be accepted. 

 

Be Heard Election Day, April 4

Make your voice heard (by the person taking your order!) as you make the difficult decision to order a char dog or jumbo dog, hamburger or cheeseburger, turkey burger or veggie burger – or go with the long time incumbent and local favorite – teriyaki chicken! 

Visit Wiener Take All on Tuesday, April 4 ~ there is No School that day ~ and mention Ivy Hall PTO, and a portion of your purchase will be donated back to Ivy Hall PTO. 

For online orders, add Ivy Hall PTO in the special instructions.  For details, visit http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.

 

Few Volunteer Spots Remaining: Ice Cream Wednesdays

Volunteer opportunities for Ice Cream Wednesday in April and May are live! 

We ask that each family only take one volunteer position.  If you previously volunteered in January, February or March, we ask that you add your name to the waitlist to allow other families the opportunity to volunteer. 

Sign up at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.
