Today IBHS hosted the college and career fair! Thank you so much to all of the people that came to provide our students with this awesome experience. We greatly appreciate the time you took out of your day to talk to our students about potential opportunities for their future! #ibtigerpride

We wish them the best of luck as they head to state. They will play tomorrow at Riverton Community High School at 10 A.M. We hope to see you there to cheer them on. #ibtigerpride 🐯

Our Tiger Tales Readers of the Month and homeroom winners celebrated today! Mrs. Lox’s 3rd-grade class and Miss Alcaraz’s 2nd-grade class earned pizza parties for having the highest number of students who met their overall reading goals.

A big thank-you to the PTO for their continued financial support of this program and our staff, and families for encouraging our students to discover a love of reading through a little friendly competition!

We are overwhelmed with the generosity our community has shown our students during the Canned Food Drive. Today our NHS students delivered over 10,000 items to the American Legion thanks to the efforts of the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes and their sponsors in conjunction with IB Christmas Hope. We'd like to give a special shout-out to senior, Lauren B. for leading the NHS in counting and delivery; she went above and beyond to ensure this year's drive was a success.

Congratulations to our 7th grade girls for punching their ticket to state. They showed incredible heart and resilience tonight by battling back from an 11 point deficit in the first half to win the game. They will compete in the first round of state at Riverton Community High School on Saturday at 10 A.M. We hope to see a strong crowd there to support our Tigers as they continue this amazing run. We would also like to congratulate Kinley Dunn for being selected as our player of the game. Her effort set the tone for our comeback! #ibtigerpride 🐯

Due to the forecasted winter weather and the potential travel risks associated with it, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this weekend’s wrestling tournament. The safety of our student-athletes, staff, and families must remain our top priority, and the expected conditions would not allow us to safely host this event.

Today our 1st, 3rd, and 4th graders continued their learning around kindness and how it plays an important role in keeping our school bully-free. Students had meaningful conversations about what kindness looks like in their classrooms, hallways, and even at home. They shared ideas, practiced positive behaviors, and talked about how one small act can make a big difference in someone’s day. 💛 We are proud of our Tigers for showing great thinking, courage, and heart as they work to build a school community where everyone feels safe, valued, and included. 🐯✨

Our 3rd graders brought the magic of the holidays to Illini Bluffs Elementary today with their very own Macy’s Day Parade! After learning about the history and traditions of the iconic parade, students designed and created their own festive balloons.

They proudly paraded through the halls, bringing smiles, creativity, and Thanksgiving spirit to our entire school! 🦃🎉

Great job, 3rd grade—your imagination and hard work made this a celebration to remember! 💛🖤

Congratulations to our IBMS November Students of the Month. Our teachers are proud to recognize students who consistently demonstrate outstanding character, responsibility, respect, honesty, and hard work in and out of the classroom. These students embody what it means to show #IBTigerPride!

A huge thank you to our amazing Food Services team for going above and beyond to create a Thanksgiving feast for our students and staff today! It was a tremendous success, and we are so thankful to provide this opportunity for our district. We appreciate you! 🦃🥧 #ibtigerpride

Today, our Kindergarten, 2nd, and 5th graders met with Mrs. Craven and Mrs. Stanley to learn about the Tiger Trait Kindness and how it connects to keeping our school bully-free! Students were engaged and shared thoughtful conversations about the importance of spreading kindness and the difference even small acts can make in someone’s day. We are proud of their insight and the positive culture they continue to build at IBES! We are looking forward to meeting with all other grades tomorrow! 💛🐯
