• Last Call-ABC/25 Foundation Fundraiser Golf Event Sunday, April 6

• April 7 -25 : Earth Month Community Donation Drives

• Now through April 21 - Yearbook Sale

This April, join the Ivy Hill Environmental PTA Committee in making a meaningful impact through three community drives running from April 7–25, 2025! All donations can be dropped off at the Front Office at Ivy Hill.

• Eyeglasses Drive – Donate usable eyeglasses to support the Lions Club International RECYCLE FOR SIGHT Program.

• Plastic Bag Drive – Help us dispose of plastic bags the right way! Plastic bags don’t belong in curbside recycling—bring them to us instead!

• Shoe Drive – Give your gently used shoes a second life through the SWALCO Reuse-A-Shoe Program (see attached flyer for the donation guidelines)

Let’s work together to care for our planet, reduce waste, and support great causes. Every item donated makes a difference!

Abc25 is hosting an Event at Topgolf on Sunday, April 6th from 1 - 4pm. This is a fun family-friendly event!

The success of this event will directly impact the Foundation's ability to fund next year's Teacher Grant program. Last year nearly $30,000 was funded in teacher grants for D25. The more bays filled the more money to fund grants for teachers next year!

Are you interested in planning an event? Being a liaison for Thomas Middle School or the School Board? Or reading the Spring Scholarship applications? If YES, take a look at the PTA Committee Sheet linked below. There are plenty of events happening this year and opportunities to be on a PTA Committee.

Members may add themselves to this sheet if they are interested in joining a committee this year.

If you are looking to volunteer time or donate items, watch for Sign Up Geniuses throughout the year as things come up. Some items are one time events (Ex: Fall Fest) and some are spread throughout the year (Ex: Staff Events). **This is NOT the sign up for Room Rep (room parents who plan parties).
