Good Afternoon, Ivy Drive School Community: 

Welcome back!  We are so excited to welcome our students, staff, and families back to Ivy Drive following Spring Break. We hope you had a wonderful, restful week and were able to enjoy time with family and friends. We are looking forward to a strong and exciting return to school as we head into the final stretch of the year together!

This week brings several exciting opportunities for our students and families:

After-School Clubs Begin (for Registered Students in Grades 1-5):
Our after-school clubs will begin tomorrow, Monday, April 20. Students who are registered will participate in one of our engaging club offerings: Lego Club, Games Club, or Craft Club. These clubs provide students with opportunities to collaborate, create, and connect in a fun and structured environment. Families should have received confirmation of registration on Friday, April 10. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the main office—we’re happy to help!

“Camp Ivy Drive” – Family Learning & Enrichment Event 
We are especially excited for our schoolwide Family Learning & Enrichment Event, “Camp Ivy Drive,” taking place on Wednesday, April 22 from 6:00–7:00 PM here at Ivy Drive School.  

This special evening is designed to bring our school community together for hands-on, engaging learning experiences. Families will have the opportunity to rotate through a variety of interactive stations led by our incredible Ivy Drive faculty and staff. Activities will include:

• Literacy-based games and reading challenges
• Math exploration and problem-solving activities
• STEM and hands-on enrichment experiences
• Creative and collaborative family activities

In addition, we are excited to welcome community partners such as the Bristol Police Department, Bristol Boys & Girls Club, and more, who will be joining us to support this event.

All families who attend will be entered into a raffle to win one of our amazing outdoor backyard game prizes—a fun way to extend learning and play at home! Be sure to check out the exciting raffle prizes on display at school—every attending family will be entered for a chance to WIN!

To help us plan for materials, space, and participation, we kindly ask that you register for the event using the link included in this message. If you had previously registered for our February date, there is no need to register again.
