So Many 'Thank Yous'
We’ve had an exciting past week, filled with Halloween celebrations. These activities would not have been possible without the hard work of our PTO volunteers.
Thank you to our planning committee for Willy Wildcat’s Chocolate Factory, and an extra special thank you to our Trunk or Treat hosts, who pivoted quickly and set up indoors to avoid the rain. More than 350 members of our Wildcat community enjoyed an evening of pizza, ice cream, dancing, games, trunk or treat and showcase of amazing costumes!
Thank you to all of our volunteers who planned Halloween parties for the classrooms. The games, activities and projects were fabulous, and Halloween spirit could be felt and heard throughout the Ivy Hall hallways.
Watch our blog next week for a reminder that sign-up for Winter Parties will go live at 9 a.m. Saturday, November 11.
