Welcome to Irwin County Elementary School!
Next student holidays: April 22-26
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.
Congratulations to the ICES Students of the Month for September!

Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Wilson's kindergarten students are now authors and illustrators! The class wrote a book about the things they liked most about kindergarten and titled their book "What I Like About Kindergarten." Then the book was professionally printed. The students really love their book! To celebrate, the class had an ice cream/book signing party where they gave Principal Mrs. Holly Tucker a signed copy.
