Letter from the Prinicpal
Dear Parents,
There are so many exciting things coming up at Indian Knoll. IKES PTA is hosting our second Talent/Variety Show on Friday, March 2 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. We look forward to seeing all of our talented students perform! Spring Pictures will be done February 27. This will include class pictures as well as individual pictures. Our Winter Break will only be on Monday, February 19 and Tuesday, February 20. School will be in session Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of that week. Please visit the school webpage and/or the IKES PTA webpage for additional information and details on these events.
Our school has participated in several pj/hat days this year. All proceeds go to St. Jude Children’s Cancer Research Hospital. We are so proud of the leadership role our Jr. Beta Club members have taken to promote as well as work these events. Our House Ambassadors are helping us with our computer labs each morning and afternoon. They are doing a great job.
We are very proud of our IKES Reading Bowl participants. They won FIRST place in county-wide competition in January. Our Techno Wizards also did a great job of representing our school in their competition last week. We had 27 students competing and 16 of those placed in either first, second or third place. Our first place winners will move on to Regional competition in March!
As you continue to see and read, we are a very busy community; and we have a lot to be proud of with our school. I also want to thank each and every one of our families for being supportive of our staff. We are very fortunate to work with this community.
Dr. Ann Gazell, Principal
