FY20 Irwin County Schools Calendar
Maria Murrell was the winner of the National School Breakfast Week drawing at ICES. Students were required to eat breakfast every day and have their punch card stamped, then those students' names were put into a drawing for the gift basket. Congratulations, Maria!
Grade 2 students of the month for the months of August, September, and October decorated the Christmas at McDonald's with ornaments they made by hand at school. They also had cookies and milk provided by McDonalds as a thank you. These students were treated as a reward for good behavior at school.
Congratulations to Ms. Cindy Sutton, fourth grade teacher at ICES, on being named System-Wide Teacher of the Year for the Irwin County School District. Ms. Sutton was honored at the regular Board of Education meeting last night and also received a surprise visit from her daughter Ashley, who drove for 6 hours yesterday to surprise her mom.
Wednesday, October 5, was "Third Grade Dictionary Celebration" day at ICES. Each year, the Ocilla Rotary Club and Irwin County Family Connection provide each ICES third grader with a student's dictionary. Designed especially for young students, the dictionary also contains other information such as the 50 states, presidents, the solar system, etc. The students and teachers were all very appreciative of the dictionaries.
