Welcome Back!
We hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable summer. We’re excited for the new school year to begin.
Please be sure to read our weekly blog so that you’ll know about all of the exciting opportunities and activities that our PTO has to offer.
Donate to Welcome Back Coffee Bar
We are hosting a Welcome Back Coffee Bar for the Ivy Hall Staff and are looking for donations of coffee and snack items. Head over to our Amazon wish list and help us sweeten up the Teacher’s Lounge and give them a caffeinated treat.
Visit http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto: Donations are due by August 14.
Track Your Back-To-School Gear
Does your Wildcat have a knack for losing his or her personal belongings? 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 link.
Exciting Changes to Special Lunch and Ice Cream Day
SPECIAL LUNCH: As we have seen across the food industry over the last few years, vendor price increases and ingredient changes have impacted the PTO's ability to offer certain nutritionally compliant meals at a price point that is reasonable to families. We are continuing to work with our vendors to find additional meal options for the students. For the first half of the year, we continue to offer a student favorite Special Lunch: Papa Johns! All meals will be served with two sides and a bottle of water. Special Lunch will be held on Wednesdays, once per month.
ICE CREAM DAY: Ice Cream Wednesday has always been one of the student’s favorite programs. Each week, Ivy Hall PTO distributes ice cream novelties at lunch to those who have pre-ordered an ice cream card. With the shift of Special Lunch to Wednesday, we had to find a new home for our Ice Cream Day. We’re excited to announce Frozen Treat Fridays! Same yummy treats, on a new day!
Special Lunch and Frozen Treat Friday cards will be on sale in the coming weeks. Watch our blog and Facebook page for more information.
