Thanks ~ Have a Wonderful, Safe Summer
We can’t believe that this is our last blog of the 2023-24 school year!
It has been a wonderful year filled with fun events, successful fundraisers and most importantly amazing memories that we built together as an Ivy Hall Community. We want to take this opportunity to thank the Ivy Hall Staff, our PTO Executive Board and PTO Committee members and volunteers for making this year such a huge success!
We also want to express our gratitude to Alisha Patel, for the many years she has devoted to the Ivy Hall PTO, as she completes her final year of service. Alisha’s leadership, attention to detail, and embodiment of our Ivy Hall Wildcat pride will be missed. Best of luck Alisha in your endeavors at Twin Groves and Stevenson High School.
Thank You Wildcats: Have a Fun, Safe Summer

Fundraisers Continue Through Summer
Support our ongoing fundraiser in partnership with North Shore Plant Club.
The North Shore Plant Club’s mission is to make gardening more accessible to the community. You can purchase a range of plants at almost wholesale prices. Ivy Hall PTO will receive a portion of your purchase.
Joining the club is free and gives you access to great prices and a huge selection of plants that arrive fresh from the growers, while giving you the convenience of shopping from your home. When you join North Shore Plant Club and purchase a plant using our special link below, 5 percent of the proceeds will go to Ivy Hall School PTO.
You, friends, family and neighbors will be able to order 15 different times between April and October and support the fundraiser. There are Plant Club pick-up locations in Buffalo Grove (near the Prairie View Metra Station), Barrington, Glenview, Deerfield, Lake Forest, Libertyville, Naperville, Skokie/Evanston, Wilmette and Winnetka.
You’ll be notified by email when each sale begins; you can also view upcoming sale dates on the North Shore Plant Club website.
To join, visit http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto and click on the North Shore Plant Club Sign-Up link so that Ivy Hall PTO will receive credit for your purchases.
