Family Halloween Event Coming October 27
Help us make Willy Wildcat’s Chocolate Factory a success by offering your decorated car — actually, your trunk — to the Trunk or Treat event. Giveaways (treats) will be supplied by the PTO. We just need your car and your creativity.
Decorate your car using the theme of your choice — last year’s themes included Harry Potter, Under The Sea, the 1980s and more. Be creative! Sign up at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.
We can’t wait to celebrate Halloween with you and your family. We’ll have a DJ, games and more. Costumes welcome. Event information and dinner pre-order information coming next week.
For questions, email us at [email protected].
Yearbook Cover Contest Entries Due October 29
Ivy Hall's third annual Yearbook Cover Contest is underway, and entries are due October 29.
Entries should reflect Ivy Hall's theme for the school year: "The Magic of Yet," based on the book, The Magical Yet by Angela DiTerlizzi. Be creative! 
You may use markers, colored pencils, crayons, or digital/iPad. The entry may be submitted on 8-1/2" x 11" paper or digital image - must be VERTICAL (Portrait), not Horizontal (Landscape); Horizontal/Landscape entries will not be accepted.
Include your name and grade on the back of your design or in the name of the digital file. Turn in cover design to your teacher so that it can be given to Yearbook Club Sponsors Mrs. Jarrett and Mrs. Slivnick.
There will be one winner per grade. Entries will be included and the winner announced in the 2023-24 Yearbook in the spring.
Ivy Hall's yearbook is sponsored by Ivy Hall PTO in collaboration with the Yearbook Club.

Don't Lose Your Back-to-School Gear
Does your Wildcat have a knack for losing his or her personal belongings?
Get yourself some durable name 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).
Head over to http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto and click on the Mabel’s Labels link to get started.
