May 2015 We are busy bees!

What a wonderful April we had here at Ivy League! Our Childrens Art Expo and Open House was a
HUGE success! Through the generosity of our families, teaching staff and local community, we were able
to raise over $500 for the Make-a-Wish foundation, as well as raise money for our Teacher Appreciation
celebration next week. The children and staff did an amazing job on the artwork. We so enjoyed having
author Trace Wilkins Francis here with her special friends. If you wish to order Traces book The Real
Life Adventures of Jo Jo Bean, please take an order form from the front desk. You can also visit the office
for a Picture Day order form. Picture Day is May 11th. All order forms need to be dropped off by that
morning if you wish your child to have pictures taken. We have also begun registration for Summer Camp
2015. Our theme this year is Inventors Workshop! The students will be experimenting, analyzing,
creating and most of all, having fun! Please register your child ASAP as space is limited. All Camp
Activity Fees are due by Friday, June 26th. Feel free to start paying them off now so your child will be all
set for the summer.
