Ivy Hall Yearbook PTO order 2023

 

Yearbook Cover Contest Winding Down

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.  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.

 

Celebrate Your Culture at World Wide WildCats

On December 1, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., we’ll showcase the many cultures represented at Ivy Hall.  This is an event for your entire family ~ siblings are welcome. 

We are looking for families who would like to share crafts, games, clothing, artifacts and/or traditions from their culture with our Ivy Hall community.  Crafts and projects produced by students at this event will be displayed at school each month.  Participants may do a short performance (dance, music, for instance). 

You are invited to sign up to host a booth today.
