Ms. Ury’s class had an unforgettable day on their field trip to Thank Ewe Iris Farm! 🐑
Students had the opportunity to see sheep up close and learn all about lambs, their care, and life on the farm. One of the highlights of the trip was watching a skilled working sheepdog in action, demonstrating the incredible craft of sheep herding. The teamwork, precision, and communication between dog and handler were amazing to witness!
A special thank you to Mr. Mark Beard-Witherup for hosting our students and sharing his knowledge and passion.










We had the honor of celebrating two incredible students at the IPA Shawnee Region Student Recognition Dinner! Mrs. Wiltowski had the privilege of accompanying Iker Nava and Wyatt Schilling as they were recognized for their outstanding achievements. These students consistently demonstrate excellent character, positive behavior, strong academic performance, and—most importantly—genuinely kind hearts. We are so proud of Iker and Wyatt and all they represent. It was a wonderful evening celebrating their success and the bright futures ahead of them! 🌟👏


It’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and we have the very best to celebrate! 🍎✨
Our teachers and staff pour so much into our students each and every day—this week is a great time to let them know just how much they mean to our school community.
A big thank you to our amazing PTO for helping us celebrate in a fun way! They’ve created a make-your-own specialty soda bar and stocked the staff lounge fridges with some of our teachers’ favorite snacks—such a thoughtful way to show appreciation!
We encourage all of our families to take a moment this week to send a note, share a kind word, or find a small way to let your child’s teacher know how special they are. It truly makes a difference. 💙

🌧️ Kids on the Run Update 🏃♂️
Even our fastest runners can’t outrun the rain today! Due to the wet weather, Kids on the Run practice is canceled.
Take the day to rest those legs, stay dry, and maybe get in some indoor “running” (we hear hallway sprints and living room laps count 😉).
We’ll be back at it Thursday—ready to run!
Thank you!
