Eagle Fun Run Fundraiser - Wednesday October 9
This year, our PTA has a goal to knock out our annual fundraising needs with JUST ONE FUNDRAISER! The Eagles Fun Run!
During the school day on Wednesday, October 9th (rain date Thursday, October 10th) each Ivy Hill student will participate in the Eagles Fun Run during the school day. Students will earn prizes with their solicited donations.
PJ Day at school with $3,000 raised
Extra Recess with $6,000 raised
Open seating for lunch with $9,000 raised
Eagle Lunch Dance Party when we hit our overall $12,000 goal
The $12,000 goal for this fundraiser supports our child-focused, staff-supporting missions and prevents further donation solicitation from the Ivy Hill PTA for the remainder of the year.
How to raise funds:
Please complete the 3-minute registration online, or with the mobile-friendly QR code below, and help us reach our fundraising goal with the Eagles Fun Run!
We’ll see you on October 9th!
Thank you!

2024-25 Ivy Hill PTA Committee & Board Member Listing
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).
Join the PTA!
