Hello Ivy Hill Families!

We had such a fun week at Ivy Hill! On Monday we had an awesome assembly from the American Indian Center of Chicago where we learned about their culture through storytelling, songs and dances.

Wednesday was our big PTA Fun Run! It was such a beautiful day and the kids had an amazing experience! Thanks to all the parents and families who donated and came to cheer on all the students. The students were able to celebrate on Friday with the reward of "mix it up" lunch and the Ivy Eagle coming to have a dance party at the end of each lunch shift. Definitely a ton of excitement and fun was had by all!

We're holding our annual Veteran's Day Breakfast and Assembly on November 11th. If you have a Veteran in your family (or a friend of your family) please sign them up for this very special event!

We are so fortunate to have a wonderful PTA (Parent/Teacher Association) here at Ivy Hill. Please consider joining their program and participating in all the great activities they bring to our students! Check out their weekly newsletter The PTA Happenings!

Please read through this newsletter as there is a lot of important information for you!

Stay safe, stay kind, and stay courageous!

If you don't call, we are required to call you so PLEASE remember to call your child in absent, late or leaving early!!

Anything can happen during the school day - no matter the age of your child! From being caught in the rain, to a failed science experience, things happen! Please pack a change of clothes in each child's backpack for them in keep in case of a "wardrobe malfunction"!
