Hello Ixonia Families,

It has been such a joy seeing your creativity and school spirit on display all week long! Thank you to those that came and helped with the Float Building. It is so great to see our school community come together to celebrate our school and display our school pride! Looking forward to walking with some of you in the parade tonight!

Quick recap of plans for tonight, if you plan to walk in the parade: Please arrive to the float, which will be lined up along Walnut and Pleasant, no later than 4:45 PM (floats begin lining up at 4:00). All Ixonia families are welcome! Younger siblings can come too. Feel free to push a stroller or bring a wagon for little ones. Wear purple Ixonia shirts or Oconomowoc gear! Feel free to bring candy with, but we will have designated adults only that will be handing out the candy, per the police department. All children must have a parent or guardian with them. The parade route ends at Roosevelt park.

Next Friday is our Falcon Fun Run. Thank you to our wonderful PTO Board and parent volunteers for making these events possible. And special thanks to our new Phy Ed Teacher, Mr. Granick for stepping up and running the show on Friday. We are especially thankful for our amazing Ixonia families - thanks to all of you, we are already half way to reaching our goal of $12,000! If we reach our goal, the PTO pays for a bowling field trip for the whole school. One more week until the big day.

Hope your Homecoming weekend is a blast - filled with positive memories and fun!

Sarah Lang, Ixonia Elementary Principal

Ixonia Elementary is a proud partner of a non-profit organization called Blessings in a Backpack. Through this partnership, any child is eligible to be a recipient of the Blessings in a Backpack program.

The program is designed to provide non-perishable food every Friday to children that would benefit from supplemental nourishment over the weekend. The program runs the full school year and there is no cost to participate. If you choose to participate, your child will receive a bag of non-perishable food every Friday which will be distributed in a discreet and caring manner. If you are interested in receiving this, or hearing more about the program please reach out to Katie Crull - crullk@oasd.org | 262-560-8410. Thank you!
