Bedtime Stories During Read Across America Week
Each night an e-story will be posted to your child’s Google Classroom. We hope you enjoy some of our staff’s favorite stories as a family! To access them, open the Google Apps folder on your child’s iPad, open Google Classroom, then select their 19-20 Library class. The stories will be posted as an “assignment” but this is an optional activity to enjoy at home. Can you guess who is reading each story?

Volunteer for the Ingomar Museum of Art
Volunteers Needed to Hang Art for the 2020 IES Art/Curriculum Show
It’s time to start work for the Art/Curriculum Show, “IMOA” (Ingomar Museum of Art). The exhibit is scheduled for the evening of
March 19, 2020, with most of the work taking place from the last week of February to the show. We will be working in the Art Room, the Library and the hallways. As some are classroom locations, we will need to try and coordinate times when we will not disturb classes. If you are interested in helping, please contact our art show coordinator
Mrs. Jenna Stivoric or
Sign Up Genius to go directly to the sign-up application. We usually have a cart loaded with the day’s artwork and instructions outside the art room. On your day, you can come in and take a look at what needs to be done and select what you would like to work on. Almost all of the work for the art show involves stapling or hanging artwork from various locations in the building. Thank you for your help!
