Physical Science students, instructed by Mr. Massa, started their bridge competition this week. Students have to design, engineer, and construct balsa bridges, which will be tested for strength and efficiency. These amazing labs have been so good for our students' learning, and they love them! Excellent Work Vikings!

Here's my November newsletter--have a great weekend! GO VIKINGS!

We couldn't forget the teachers on this one! Teachers were put into a drawing if they were able to get 90% or more of their students and their parent/guardians to conference! The incentive winner and NOVEMBER TEACHER OF THE MONTH is Mr. Ron Almandinger! Way to go Vikings!

At the High School, we had an incentive for students to attend Parent/ Teacher Conferences with their parent/guardian and present IPS! Students could win one of three Owala Water Bottles, a JBL Bluetooth speaker, or an IPad! Our winners were so excited for their participation and prizes...even if their faces don't really show it! Go Vikings!!!
