The Giving Tree
There is still time to help!
We are still looking for families willing to purchase food gift cards.

Then, bring your gift card to the school office by December 1. We will make sure your gift is delivered to a family.

Thank you to all of the Ixonia families that make this tradition so special. Every year your generosity shines through and makes the holiday a whole lot brighter for families.
Gingerbread Shop 2017
Mark your calendars!!!
The Gingerbread Shop is a long-standing Ixonia Elementary tradition that the kids LOVE, coming up December 5th-7th, shopping open from 8:30am-4:00pm each day.
The PTO purchases, wraps and sells presents that the students can buy for family and friends at Christmas. Coordinators shop all year to get the best deals so that many items are worth quite a bit, yet we are able to charge only $2 per gift! There is a huge variety of gifts the kids can choose from so there is something for everyone (even your pets!). The children can bring their money to school, purchase gifts for all on their list, and have surprises for the entire family!
We need helpers to set up the shop, assist students in picking out gifts for their loved ones, wrapping and working the check out process.
This is a wonderful tradition for our school and so much fun to see the kids excitement - we hope you can help! We need quite a bit of help to make this happen.
Please sign up below if you can volunteer:

Spirit Wear Store - Open!
The Ixonia spirit wear store is now open! Please follow the link below to find some great new options including hats and socks!
- All orders are due by midnight on Tuesday, November 21.
- Ordered items will be delivered to the school before winter break. They can be sent home with your student, or if you make arrangements with the office, (Ixonia@oasd.org) can be picked up by parents and kept as a surprise.
- A portion of all spirit wear sales will benefit the Ixonia PTO.
Lost and Found to be donated December 22nd
Baby, it's getting cold outside!
Temperatures are falling - but our students are still going outside for recess. In fact, OASD students go outside to play anytime it is above freezing!
Please remember to send jackets, hats and gloves or mittens. Soon, you'll be adding boots and snow pants to that list.
We want all children to stay warm while they get a little fresh air and exercise this winter.
After School Plans
Please notify your child's teacher and they'll make sure the office knows of any permanent changes in their routine.
Needed: Little Toys for Imaginative Play
We are always looking for ways to engage students at school - even at recess!
If you are interested in donating old toys that kids could play with during recess, please bring them to the school. Some ideas include wooden building blocks, Duplos (large piece legos), matchbox cars, action figures, etc.
These donations should be items that you aren't expecting back and won't mind if they get broken or lost. We imagine kids are going to play hard with them.
Thank you!
Mission Possible: Slime your principal
Since this started, we have raised an additional $1,255 - thank you! We've got $8700 to go until Dec. 22nd to reach our goal. Keep up the great work!
We are half way to our playground goal of $40,000, which means we only need a total of $20,000 more. We have around 190 families in the school. So, if each family helped us raise $100, we achieve our goal. If you cannot donate directly, there are ways to get involved: you can donate your time by going to local businesses or family members or neighbors and asking them to donate to our cause.
And now for the challenge: We want to boost our playground fund by $10,000 before the December break. To put this into perspective, if we have 100 families, give $100 and raise $10,000 or more by December 22, we will SLIME MRS YEARLING at an assembly in front of the whole school before the holiday break. But as long as we make it to $10,000 our mission will be accomplished!
Any person who donates $100 or more will receive:
- Tax-deductible donation thank you letter
- Free one-day family pass to the YMCA
- Ixonia Yard Sign
- Name on an acknowledgement plaque
You can donate directly on this link or bring money in an envelope with your name on it.

Please share it with your friends and help the PTO achieve the goal of $40,000 to help us build a playground!
