IGEMS achieved 5 Start School status for the 22-23 School Year!

🦓Our IGEMS second graders are animal experts! We spent November researching facts about animals. Each child chose a specific animal to learn about. They studied their animal's appearance, habitat, diet, predators, and family. Then, we worked our way through the writing process to create a beautiful report. Our families assisted by creating a habitat to go with their animals. The children showcased their expertise at the "Feed The Animals" event. Families came to hear our animal presentations. Guests were asked to donate food to our Panther Pack program as a way to "Feed the Animals." It was a wonderful success!🦒

Annual Iowa-Grant Toy Drive! Celebrate the season of giving by sharing your new or gently used toys (please no stuffed animals!) and books with the families of the Iowa-Grant School District! If your child has outgrown a toy or that toy they had to have last year has been sitting on the shelf for the last 6 months, now is the time to send it to a new home where it can be loved by another child! Please make sure toys are in good shape and have all their pieces! Toys and books can be dropped off at IGEMS from November 27th through December 7th. We also will accept things for our older students such as new blankets, jewelry, craft kits, sports equipment, card games, etc… If you are interested in sending in a monetary donation please make checks out to the Iowa-Grant School District and mark the envelope Toy Drive. This money will be used to fill some of the specific wish list items. Any toys and books collected will be made available to families in the district who struggle financially to provide for their families during the holiday season. Families who are in need of a Santa Sack can contact Darcy Breuer at dbreuer@igs.k12.wi.us to sign up your family before December 5th. Reminder: Santa Sacks are only for families who need assistance to provide gifts for the holidays. Please include the following things in the email: your name and the best way to contact you, child(ren)’s age and gender, and a wish list of 2-3 items for each child. Staff members will make up a “Santa sack” for your family and you will be notified when your sack is ready to pick up at the school. If you have any questions please contact Darcy Breuer at dbreuer@igs.k12.wi.us Thank you for your generosity and for helping us bring the Christmas spirit to our community!
