ILCS Middle School Has Courage!
On Thursday, October 19th, ILCS Middle School embarked on a field trip to commemorate the October Character Education Trait: Courage. The Middle School faculty, including Mrs. Wolfe, Mr. Atchinson, Ms. Stephan, and Mrs. Scofield, accompanied the students on a hike to Watch Hill. The weather was splendid, and the scenery was breathtaking! The students demonstrated remarkable stamina and courage as they hiked to the summit.
Picture day is coming! Please mark your calendars!
Congratulations to ILCS Varsity Soccer players Jackson Strader and Tyler Mack, recognized in an Adirondack Express article for their outstanding skills and performance at the Old Forge Tournament during the Columbus Day weekend!
“One player stood out in this tournament and I would say he was the best player in the entire tournament, and that is Jackson Strader, a junior. Strader was outstanding and his goalie, Tyler Mack also played very well as he was kept very busy throughout the tournament.” Dave Clark, Adirondack Express

Today during library, 1st grade students read the book "Pirates vs Monsters". Students then colored alphabet monsters in shape of the first letter of their names! The 1st grade library student of the day got to pick a super silly prize from the treasure chest and Mrs. Wolfe decided to join the fun!
It's a beautiful day for soccer! Come support the Modified and Varsity Girls at their last home game of the season! Game time is 4:00 pm! The ILCS Travel Club will be selling concessions including hot dogs, chips, candy bars, soda and water! All proceeds benefit the ILCS Travel Club students!
In October, ILCS students are focusing on the theme of "COURAGE." Our librarian, Mrs. Wolfe, had the pleasure of hosting Deputy Justin Loomis and his K-9 partners, TJ & Fynn, to discuss the concept of courage with our elementary students. During this special session, the students had the opportunity to learn about TJ & Fynn and the extensive education and training they undergo to become K-9 Officers. Deputy Loomis also shared his experiences as an officer and K-9 handler, emphasizing the significant levels of courage and bravery required in his line of work.
A highlight of the presentation for both the students and TJ was when the students had the chance to pet TJ. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Deputy Loomis, TJ, and Fynn for their visit to our school and for their dedication to keeping Hamilton County safe!
The ILCS Travel Club will be set up this afternoon to sell concessions for the boy's soccer games starting at 4:00 pm. Please consider stopping by for a snack or warming up with a cup of coffee! All proceeds benefit the ILCS Travel Club!
