🎄 Holiday Spirit Week kicks off tomorrow! 🎄 Wear your Holiday Headgear—reindeer antlers, a Santa hat, elf ears, or your most creative festive accessory. Let’s spread holiday cheer and start the week in style. We can’t wait to see your festive looks!
On Wednesday, December 11th, ILCS elementary students brought the spirit of the season to Elderwood in North Creek! Following Buddy the Elf’s famous advice, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear,” they filled the air with joyful songs and warm holiday wishes.
Tonight's modified boys' game vs. Johnsburg/Minerva is postponed and rescheduled to a later date.

As part of their kitchen safety curriculum, sixth-grade Makerspace students received fire extinguisher training from Jay Griffin, a local fire safety expert. The training, organized by Mrs. O’Meara, aimed to teach students essential safety skills while working in the kitchen.
Jay Griffin provided an engaging demonstration, showing students how to properly operate a fire extinguisher using the PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep side to side. Students practiced these steps with an actual extinguisher, gaining confidence in handling emergency situations.
The session emphasized the importance of fire prevention and preparedness, offering students valuable knowledge they can apply in both the Makerspace kitchen and their own homes.
This hands-on experience gives students the skills they need to stay safe while fostering responsibility and awareness in the kitchen.
The fire extinguisher training is just one example of how the Makerspace program integrates practical life skills into its innovative curriculum, empowering students with knowledge that extends beyond the classroom.
The MS trip is still scheduled for today with a 10:00 am departure time.
Good Morning, ILCS will be on a 2-hour delay due to some road closures with a power line down. We will still have the early morning BOCES run. There will be no breakfast.
Blue Team got a taste of old-fashioned preservation techniques by learning how to make jam from garden-fresh fruit! This hands-on activity is part of a broader middle school initiative, funded by a generous grant from the Whole Kids Foundation, to explore creative ways to preserve the bounty of their garden harvest. Students are discovering the science and sustainability behind turning fresh produce into lasting treats while building practical skills they can use beyond the classroom.
