Winter Weather is here - don’t lose your hat, gloves, etc -  Get durable name labels.
Does your Wildcat have a knack for losing their personal belongings?  Do you want to keep track of all of your winter gear?

Get yourself some durable name labels from Mabel’s Labels and support Ivy Hall PTO!  Mabel’s Labels has labels for all ages (including adults) and they stick to most common surfaces (and survive the dishwasher & washer/dryer).  Head over to http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto and click on the Mabel’s Labels link to get started!

FUN FACT: 97% of items with name labels that end up in the Lost & Found end up making their way back to Ivy Hall students!
