REMINDERS

Volunteers Needed for Winter Class Parties

Winter Party Volunteer Sign-Up opens at 9 a.m. Saturday, November 11, 2023.  There are three class parties each school year: Halloween, Winter and Valentine’s Day.  

In an effort to include more families in our class parties, each class party will have four (4) unique volunteers: One (1) Party Planner and three (3) Volunteers.  The Party Planner will work with the volunteers to plan the party together, but the Party Planner will act as the point of contact for this party with PTO and the classroom teacher. 

We are here to help you along the way!  We can help you develop games, crafts and other age-appropriate classroom activities, in consultation with your classroom teacher.

Students love when their parents are part of their class celebrations. We ask that each family signs up for only one party per year, so that more children are able to have their parents participate. If you already volunteered for the Halloween Party, we ask that you add your name to the waitlist for future parties (Winter and Valentine’s), and you will be notified if space is available.

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).
