🎶🔬 Miss Alcaraz's students wrapped up an exciting lesson on how sound works and vibrations! They had a blast watching sprinkles dance to vibrations, playing the ukulele, and exploring how pitch changes with water in crystals.

Such a fun, hands-on way to discover the science of sound! 👏

This Week at IB! #ibtigerpride

Students at IBHS had a great time during the Mental Health Fair! A big shout out to everybody that helped make this a successful day for our students!

Today, our high school students joined our elementary “littles” for some playground fun in honor of Mental Health Day! 🌟 From laughter to teamwork, it was wonderful watching students of all ages connect, play, and remind one another how important it is to care for our minds and hearts.

We love seeing our Tigers build relationships across grade levels , strengthening our school family one smile at a time! 🐯💛

Today, we had the joy of welcoming our amazing grandparents to celebrate with us at IBES. Students performed sweet songs, created special crafts, and shared cookies together, making memories that will last a lifetime. 💛🍪🎶

A huge thank-you to everyone who joined us for this heartwarming tradition. We’re so lucky to have such a supportive and loving school community!

Congratulations to the terrific tiger winners this week! The IBES is proud of all of our terrific tigers! Keep up the great work!
