Thank you to our friends from Widget Financial for surprising our students with ice cream sundaes!

We heard so many students say it was the "best day ever!"

Good Morning IES families! As the weather warms up, and more of our students are walking to school, we wanted to remind families of the 8:15 start time and ask that students begin lining up at 8:15 by grade level. There will be markers placed out front to designate the separate areas. Students will be welcomed in to the building beginning at 8:15 by grade level. Thank you for your help and have a great day!
From Mrs. Vrenna- IES will host the Buy One, Get One Free Book Fair May 6-10. EVERYTHING at the fair is BOGO! When your child purchases an item, they will get another item of equal or lesser value for free! Due to restocking issues, Wishlists will not be created. Students are encouraged to pay for items using the eWallet system offered by Scholastic, however, cash will also be accepted. Visit https://www.scholastic.com/bf/iroquoiselemschool to shop and set up your child’s eWallet account.
Congratulations to Miss Schlee’s class and to Keenan Schlee, from Mrs. Skelton’s group. They entered the Young Writer’s Contest. Students were asked to write a “Ridiculous Saga” in 100 words or less. All of these students were chosen by a team of writers to be published in an anthology by @YoungWritersUSA. So proud of them!
