Our 5th grade students had the opportunity to hear from Mrs. O’Neill as they wrapped up learning about the Holocaust in social studies. She shared her family’s personal connection to this important part of history, helping students gain a deeper understanding of the impact and importance of remembering these stories.
Thank you, Mrs. O’Neill, for taking the time to share such a meaningful and powerful learning experience with our students.
More learning fun at IBHS! Ms. Harmon's Ag Science class was doing a milk tasting lab as part of their dairy unit, Mrs. Strantz's Geometry class was making clinometers that they will use outside next week, and Ms. Sewell's English 11 class was preparing for the ACT test by discussing different question types. Great job students and teachers! #ibtigerpride

Our students and teachers have been working hard in the classrooms, and we are so proud of them! Mrs. Price had her students practice speaking Spanish by placing orders and acting as a server at a restaurant, Mrs. Roderick's dual credit English class was writing argumentative essay's that they will later create a presentation for, and students in PE completed their pacer test as part of fitness testing. It's a great day to be a tiger!
