Remembering and honoring our fallen on Memorial Day


Thank you to all of our community donors and volunteers who helped get our school woods ready for student explorers! Mrs. MacLaren's class had a great time learning about seeds, soil, and pond diversity this morning!




Sometimes when we are about the business of learning, we get to use clipboards! We are "writing" the room finding, reading, and writing magic "e" words!









Our 2nd grade school woods field trip was an enormous success! Thank you to the PTO, community members, and Mrs. Hindbaugh-Marr, for your donations, dedication, and efforts in revitalizing the school woods. Our students were able to participate in different engaging hands-on experiences, which led to exciting discoveries!










We honored our Students of the Month for their Enthusiasm at school. We are proud of these Junior Jackets for setting a positive example for their peers.





Our IHS graduating seniors were able to walk the halls of South Elementary one more time this afternoon. What an incredibly powerful example they set for our youngest Yellowjackets! Congratulations Class of 2024!
