PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION (PTA) Happenings:
HOLIDAY GIFT SHOP : Sat. Dec. 6th, 9:00 am to 11:30 am
Do you have a hobby or home business? Come and sell your products at our popular Holiday Gift shop! Kids and adults love to shop for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts at our seller tables. If you are interested in reserving a table or know someone who would love to show off their crafts or products, please spread the word.
Hey kids! Do you make some amazing gifts that your friends and family love? Have you ever thought about giving a small business a try?! This year, Holiday Gift Shop is going to have a new area for gifts made just by kids! A small fee will get you (and a parent helper) a spot at our “Kid Crafted” table, where you can sell your crafts to the Holiday Gift Shop visitors. Only 10 spots are available for our special kid crafters, so don’t delay. The first ten students to complete their registration will be allowed this cool opportunity. E-mail Kelly Nix for details, kelly.nix630@gmail.com and start building up an inventory!
*Hurry, there are only a few spots left!
PICTURE RETAKES are scheduled for Friday, November 7th. 
MARKET DAY:
November is here and that means…. Time to buy pies!
In November, the more pies purchased, the more our school earns. Load up for the Holidays and family gatherings.
FREE dessert pedestal with $90 online purchase* Promo Code: NOVBONUS.
Pick Up will be on Thursday, November 13th.
Last month Ivy earned $85.50, let’s try and double that in November!

Senate Bill 16 (SB16) is a school funding bill currently in our Illinois House of Representatives. Our school district has found it important enough to issue its own statement of how it would impact us here in AHSD25. A $3.4 million reduction in state funding over 4 years, and then every year thereafter. For more detailed information go to http://ivyhillpta.wordpress.com/ or to the Ivy Hill PTA Facebook Page.
