Dear IACS Community,
While we celebrate diverse cultures and perspectives throughout the year, we had two wonderful events today that were particularly well timed for Black History Month. This morning, Ms. DiCarlo's "Spill the Tea" high school English elective welcomed Veronica Birungi, mother of Issa Sengendo (Grade 11). Both Veronica and Issa led a lesson on Ugandan culture and language. And the tea loving members of Ms. DiCarlo's class also had the opportunity to sample Ugandan tea with ginger and cinnamon and used those sensations to inspire their descriptive writing.
Congratulations to the following students and staff for being
selected to present work at the social justice

Interested in helping start a High School Robotics Team??????
Mr. Craig, with the help of student Devon Morrison, is collecting information from students and families in order to determine interest and experience with Robotics. We are still in the EARLY stages of this process, but hope to make progress forming a team by the end of the school year ... with a goal of potentially competing in the Fall, 2023. Details are not yet nailed down, but you can click HERE to complete an interest form.
Thank you in advance!!!

Exhibition IACS
March 21st 3:15-6pm
Exhibitions: 3:15-5pm
The hallways and classrooms of IACS will be transformed into a museum of student work, with all students contributing at least one piece of academic work of their choosing. The atmosphere is relaxed as students, families and community members peruse the exhibits at their own pace. Expect to see students on hand to answer questions about their projects or conducting a short presentation. This is a great way to see the project-based work that our students create during the school year. Community members are needed to observe, comment & inspire our students.
