Fall Fest Volunteers & Donations Sign Up Fall Fest Volunteers & Donations Sign Up

Our annual Fall Fest is just around the corner, and we need your help to make it a success! This fun-filled event brings our school community together for games, food, crafts, and more—but we can’t do it without volunteers and donations.



Please see the link below to sign up to volunteer and donate.

Fall Fest - Volunteers and Donations

Hello Ivy Hill Families! We are in need of volunteers to help us with, check-in table, food service, games, and clean-up. We are also in need of donations for the event.  We can't do it without you and are SO GRATEFUL for everything you do to help us make this event a success for Ivy Hill families!  BACK FOR FALL FEST ONLY - PLEASE READ Every shift you volunteer for will earn you a priority seating spot for your child's annual music performance for grades K-4. If you volunteer for one shift, you earn one priority seating ticket (to one performance). If you volunteer for two shifts, you earn two priority seating tickets which can be used for the same performance, or you can use it for a second performance for a second child.  Example One- I have two children in grades 2 and 4 at Ivy. I volunteer for two shifts. I can get one priority seat to my 2nd graders show and one priority seat to my 4th graders show. Example 2: I have one child at Ivy in 3rd grade and I volunteer for 2 shifts. I can get two priority seats to my 3rd graders show. Only parents and legal guardians of current students at Ivy can earn priority seating tickets. Priority seating is capped at 2 spots per show.  Important: When signing up for your volunteer shift, please list your student and their teachers name in the comment box. If you have multiple children and are only volunteering for one shift, please indicate which performance you would like priority seating for.  Priority seating means a seat in the front rows - you will not have to wait in line in the rain/snow/inclement weather to guarantee your spot because it will be reserved for you. Please email frankijobeckwith@gmail.com with any questions :)

Have you been thinking about getting more involved in PTA, but you're not sure how? There are a lot of opportunities to jump in next year! Take a look at the PTA Committee Sheet linked below. There are plenty of events happening this year and opportunities to be on a PTA Committee.

We are searching for new chairs for the following committees:


  • Cultural Arts - Have fun choosing and scheduling next year's assemblies and events for Ivy Hill.
  • Directory and Membership - Keeping the database and directory up to date and synced. Perfect for someone who loves spreadsheets!
  • Fifth Grade Liaisons - Plan the end of the year celebrations for the fifth grade.
  • Book Club - Work with school administration to organize the schedule for our Book Club, which runs during recess in January/February.
  • School Board Meeting Rep - Attend the board meetings and report back.
  • Thomas Liaison - Attend Thomas PTA meetings and report back - easy for someone with kids in both schools!


Many of our other committees could also use co-chairs and chairs in training. Please connect with Lauren Chaharbakhshi (committeecoordinatorivyhillpta@gmail.com), or any other PTA board member, if you are interested in leading any of these amazing committees!


Members may add themselves to this sheet if they are interested in joining a committee this year.


If you are looking to volunteer time or donate items, watch for Sign Up Geniuses throughout the year as things come up. Some items are one time events (Ex: Fun Fair) and some are spread throughout the year (Ex: Staff Events). **This is NOT the sign up for Room Rep (room parents who plan parties).

Thank You:

THANK YOU!

A big shoutout to all the awesome volunteers who handed out ice cream at Meet the Teacher/School Supply Drop-Off Day! You helped make the day extra fun (and delicious!) for our students.

We really appreciate you taking the time to be there and spread some joy. It’s little things like this that make our school community so special. Thanks for being amazing!
