Hi Ivy Families, Even though it was a short week, it was packed with excitement! The students were treated to a “pop-up” assembly that challenged each student and our school to be even more Kind. As one student shared, “kindness is never wasted”! Thanks to our Ivy Student Council who planned and led the whole assembly. I can’t wait to see all our kindness symbolized in a paper-chain that makes it way around the school! We also kicked-off our PTA Lunchtime Readers which has been another huge success! Thanks to all the parents who volunteered and helped organize this wonderful experience. Have a fantastic weekend and stay warm!
