Illini Bluffs School District #327

Today was the big reveal, the IBES students had one last chance to guess who was behind the mask! The assembly was a great way to finish celebrating the end of our love for reading and unraveling the mystery together! The IBES student embarked on a week-long literacy journey like no other. It was an absolutely great way to jump into spring break #LoveOfReading #MaskedReader #LiteraryAdventure #ibtigerpride

Congratulations to our Terrific Tiger Winners this week! IBES continues to be so proud of our IBES students for working hard to show our Terrific Tiger Traits! #ibtigerpride
