A big thank you to everyone who came out to welcome Paul, Hunter, Jackson, and Ian back from the IHSA State Wrestling Tournament! We are so proud of their accomplishments and want to thank Coach O'Connor and all our wrestling team for everything they do! A special thank you to Timber-Hollis for bringing our state wrestlers home in style!





Paul Ishikawa is the undefeated IHSA 1A 145 lb State Champion!! Congratulations to Hunter Robbins, he is the IHSA 1A 106 lb Runner-Up! Tomorrow, Sunday, February 19th, we will have a fire-truck procession starting at the American Legion to the High School at 2:45 PM. Following the procession, we will have a reception at 3:00 PM for all our state wrestlers in the theater. Congratulations again to Paul, Hunter, Ian, and Jackson, and go Tigers!



Hunter and Paul are off to the State Championship and Jackson is still working his way through wrestle backs! Ian suffered a tough lost, but had a great season. So proud of all our wrestlers! #ibtigerpride




Great job during Anything Goes! The annual class competition was a huge success, and the students had a blast. Thank you to everyone who helped make this week great for our students! #ibtigerpride




Could YOU make your own clothes? The students in our Grandma Skills Community Hour can! Grandma Skills jumped right into making their own clothes with a crash course in sewing recently. After completing fabric requests for their projects, students learned the basic parts and functions of a sewing machine. They also learned how to follow the directions of a basic sewing pattern, and spent the morning actually making clothes they can wear - skills that will last a lifetime!




It brings me great pleasure to announce that tonight our Cheer team placed 3rd in the state. To celebrate their accomplishment, we will be having a reception starting at 2 P.M. tomorrow in the Middle School gym. Make sure to wear orange and black! #ibtigerpride #tigersruntogether
