Boo-Breaking News: Family Halloween Event, Oct. 27
Event Details: Pre-order Dinner by October 24
We can’t wait to celebrate Halloween with you and your family. We’ll have a DJ, games and more! Prizes will be awarded in our 2nd annual costume contest. Dinner pre-order is highly recommended as very limited pizza will be available for sale on-site. Dinner and ice cream pre-order is now live (until October 24) at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.
Trunk or Treat: Trunks Wanted
Help us make this event a success by offering your decorated car (actually, the trunk) to the Trunk or Treat event. Giveaways (treats) will be supplied by the PTO. Your creativity in decorating the trunk would be highly appreciated. Decorate your car using the theme of your choice — last year’s themes included Harry Potter, Under The Sea, and the 1980s, among other concepts. Can’t wait to see this year’s fabulous Halloween creation!

Yearbook Cover Contest Entries Due October 29

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. The orientation 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.
