Ivan Green Weekly Update
January 12, 2024
Welcome from Mr. Hiley
Dear IG Families:
We have been lucky so far this January that our temperatures have allowed us to have outdoor recess most days. Please be sure to send your Ivan Greener to school with equipment to play outside daily. They love it, and it is so good for them. When we make the "outdoor recess" announcement, you can hear the students' cheers throughout the school!
This portion of my message is being repeated from last week:
We are excited to announce that we will be having LUNCH with LANCERS the week of January 29. We are inviting adult family members to join their Ivan Green student for lunch any day that week. We have sent home an info sheet that includes your child's lunch time. This event will be restricted to the cafeteria (and playground if you would like to go).
To help us celebrate, our kitchen staff is offering some treats (chips and ice cream) for purchase! Normally these snacks are for purchase only on Fridays, but we are offering them all week, whether your child has a grown-up in for lunch or not.
In addition to the snacks, If adults want to purchase an entree, it is $4.00. That includes just the main course, so to round out your meal, we offer a la carte items. Milk $0.75, 4oz. yogurt $0.85, fruit $0.85 and juice $0.60.
If you are planning on coming in for lunch, we would like to be able to plan for you. Please click here to "order" a lunch.
Sincerely,
Lucas Hiley, Ed.D.
Principal
