Our I.C.E.S. Scholastic book fair will run from Monday, November 10 through Friday, November 14. We will also be open for I.C.E.S.'s Parent Night on Thursday, Nov. 13 from 4:30 P.M.-5:30 P.M. Thank you for your support!

Pickup for items from the I.C.E.S. cookie dough fundraiser will be in the I.C.E.S. lunchroom on Thursday, Nov. 6 and Friday, Nov. 7 from 3:30 P.M.- 5:00 P.M.
Our I.C.E.S. students and staff appreciate your purchases and your support!

We want to remind ICES parents that parent pickup in the front parking lot should not begin until 2:40 PM. Arriving early and parking in the pickup area causes traffic issues and makes it difficult for parents who need to check students out early to enter/exit the parking lot safely.

Again, please wait until 2:40 PM to line up for parent pickup in the front parking lot. This helps keep our dismissal process safe and efficient by waiting until 2:40 before lining up. Cones may be placed to block off the area until that time — we ask that everyone respect this procedure.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

The last day of Red Ribbon Week fell on Halloween, and our I.C.E.S. Kindergarteners had a great day! Students and teachers dressed up, with our Kindergarten teachers posing as "Hocus Pocus, Kindergarten Can't Focus." Mrs. Ariel Roberts' students also made Halloween hats and practiced teamwork with board games. One additional fun item was all of our little police officers, who posed with our S.R.O., Officer Tim Collins.

Ms. Flowers' and Mrs. Lee Ann's Kindergarten class experimented with science by making edible candy corn slime and candy corn people on Friday. Ms. Flowers talked about the ingredients and how to measure the marshmallows, candy corn, and oil. Then the students watched excitedly to see if their sweet treats would melt!

During Red Ribbon Week, the Pre-K classes at I.C.E.S. had lots of adventures. They heard stories from members of the Irwin County Middle School Junior Beta Club, dressed up as administrators like Mrs. Cappie Walker, and trick or treated throughout the campus.

Hello, parents and families of our I.C.E.S. students! Please mark your calendars for the Scholastic Book Fair on November 10-14. We will also have a parent night on November 13th during our Adventures in Stories and History Family Night from 4:30 P.M.-5:30 P.M.

During Red Ribbon Week, I.C.E.S. staff members enjoyed dressing up along with the themed days. Everyone from George Washington to Mary Poppins showed up at school!

On Thursday, I.C.E.S. students and staff wore shades for Red Ribbon Week because they are "too cool for drugs". Here are some of our shades-wearing crew!

The Howard Center visited Irwin County Elementary yesterday with a cheesecake bar and information about women's health. I.C.E.S. staff members appreciated their special treat!

This Red Ribbon Week at I.C.E.S. has been a great opportunity for students to dress up and commit to saying "No" to drugs. One of our dress-up days was "Dress Like an Administrator" Day. This is our second selection of photos of young versions of Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. Smith, and Mr. Willingham!

Last week's Sweet Potato Festival was an opportunity for fourth and fifth grade students to decorate sweet potatoes for the Irwin County 4H. This week, the 4H Organization rewarded the students who participated in the decorating contest with a sweet ice cream treat at school. I.C.E.S. students enjoy this festive contest every school year and appreciate the 4H sponsoring it.

Irwin County Elementary School awarded the September Students of the Month with a recognition ceremony and special prizes. Students of the Month are selected by their classroom teachers for showing positive behavior, readiness to learn, and responsibility. We are so proud of these students!

I.C.E.S. will celebrate Red Ribbon Week from Monday, October 27 to Friday, October 31. We look forward to showing how I.C.E.S. says "No" to drugs!
