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.
Congratulations to our 7th Grade Girls Basketball Team, they are Regional Champs!

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! 💛🖤

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! 💛🐯
