Ivy Drive Weekly News - Week of Nov. 9-13

Good Morning, Ivy Drive School Community:
We have another exciting week ahead at Ivy Drive School! As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, we are looking forward to opportunities for our students to build friendships, celebrate our school community, and show their Ivy P.R.I.D.E.!

Honoring Our Veterans – Thank You for Your Service!
This past week, classes at Ivy Drive took time to recognize and honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Veterans Day provides us with an important opportunity to reflect on the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

We would like to extend a very special Veterans Day salute to two members of our Ivy Drive staff, Mr. John Dietlin and Mr. Gary Wycko, who have proudly served our country. We are incredibly grateful for your service, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms. Thank you for your service to our country and for all that you continue to do for our Ivy Drive school community!

To all of our Ivy Drive families and loved ones who have served, we extend our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude. We honor you, we celebrate you, and we thank you for your service!

After-School Clubs Begin This Week!
We are thrilled to kick off our After-School Clubs this upcoming week! Students participating in LEGO Club, Craft Club, and Theater Club will have opportunities to explore their interests, develop new skills, build friendships, and have fun learning alongside their peers. We are excited to expand these opportunities for our Ivy Drive students and can't wait to see their creativity and talents shine! Families of students registered, please check your Parent Square for a confirmation message.  

Friendsgiving Friendship Feast – Thursday, November 19th
We are looking forward to celebrating our annual Friendship Feast with our Ivy Drive students and staff! This special tradition brings us together to celebrate friendship, kindness, gratitude, and the importance of caring for one another. A special thank-you to our PTA and family volunteers who help make this wonderful event possible. We are grateful for your continued support!

Outdoor Recess Reminder – Dress for the Weather!
As the temperatures begin to change, we want to remind families that students will continue to enjoy outdoor recess and activities as long as weather conditions and temperatures allow. Fresh air, physical activity, and time outdoors are important parts of our students' school day!  Please help us ensure your child comes to school prepared for the colder weather by bringing a warm coat, hat, gloves, and other appropriate outdoor clothing. We want all students to be comfortable and able to enjoy their time outside with friends!
