Iowa-Grant Awards Night
On May 15, our IG graduating seniors will be honored at the annual awards event. These students are excited about graduation and are making plans for their futures. The Iowa-Grant community has also been looking forward to this event. The continued generosity of our community makes it possible for these graduating seniors to receive monetary rewards for all of their hard work and determination. Many awards honor donors that have passed away; these awards assure that the donors’ passion for education continues to live on. Others in the community provide awards in memory of loved ones who may have passed away too soon. In addition, many community organizations sponsor scholarship awards. All of these, combined, are a representation of our Panther Pride in our school community and the generosity of those individuals. The Iowa-Grant Educational Foundation would like to thank everyone for their continued financial support of “our family” at the Iowa-Grant Schools.

ColorCycle it!
We are excited to tell you about a very special program Mrs. Mayne's Kindergarten class is coordinating at our school in conjunction with Crayola. It’s called Crayola ColorCycle – an amazing new program devised to turn used markers into energy!
All around Iowa-Grant students and teachers will be collecting used markers that are ready to be discarded. The markers will be sent to a facility where they will be converted into clean fuel. This fuel can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, cook meals and more!
Please help support our efforts by sending your kids in with any used markers you may have around the house – even non-Crayola brands. Drop-off box will be located by Mrs. Mayne’s room for your child to deposit the markers.
Thank you in advance for participating! With the help of people like you across the country, the Crayola ColorCycle program can keep tons of plastic out of landfills each year.
Remember, don’t throw out that used marker—ColorCycle it!

IGEMS Battle of the Books
Mrs. Bast tried something new this year in the library to encourage students to read a variety of books and to talk about books with each other. As an optional activity, 5th and 6th grade students could register to participate in a grade level Battle of the Books. Students were allowed to choose their teams consisting of 2-4 people at their own grade level. The students had 10 books to read over the course of about 6 weeks. The competitions were held during the week of the Scholastic Book Fair in April. All participants showed enthusiasm, good sportsmanship, and a spirit of fun. As teams, they answered trivia type questions and were awarded points for having the correct book title and author. The team with the most points after 20 questions was declared the winner. 5th grade students earning first place in the competition were: Will F. and Noah L. 6th grade students who took first place were: Bret C., Gavin H., Hayden S., and Ashton J. Our IGEMS Parent/Teacher Club generously awarded each student on the winning teams a $20 voucher to spend at the Book Fair. What better prize for a group of readers than books?! Thank you to our amazing Parent/Teacher Club for supporting the reading culture of our school!
2nd Annual IGEMS Fine Arts Night
The 2nd Annual IGEMS Fine Arts Night will be on May 9th, 2019 from 5:30pm-8:30pm in the IGEMS Cafeteria. This year is a special year, because we are able to have every student from Kindergarten-6th grade to have an art piece in! Please come join in the fun at looking at artwork, enjoying creating activities, and even fun photobooth opportunities to boot! Don't forget: the middle school Band and Choir will be performing in the Gym from 7pm-8pm. Hope to see you there!"
Earth Day
Visioneer Design Challenge 2019
On Friday, April 26th, Ms. Schmidt and 6 very gifted students gathered at IGEMS at 5AM. You read that right, 5AM! Now, what would rise these fine students to be up before even the sun wanted to wake up? The Visioneer Design Challenge! They drove all the way to the UW Milwaukee - Peck School of the Arts to compete in a state wide competition of art challenges. The challenge this year encompassed everything about the Global Water Crisis and how we can creatively think of ways to bring attention to it and ways we can help!
Iowa-Grant brought their A-Game, because we received incredibly high medals across the board! Students could be placed in Basic, Proficient, or Advanced for their Long-Term challenge, which means the art project they created for many months. These challenges were created in the mediums of: Animation, Fashion Design, and Game Design.
Out of our 5 competing students, we received 5 Advanced awards and 1 Basic for their long-term challenge. One of our students was a co-captain and went to support, which is an award all on it's own!
What a fantastic experience for a fantastic group of students. We are so proud of our Panthers!"
Scholastic Book Fair
Students, parents, grandparents, teachers and volunteers joined together for the annual BOGO Scholastic Book Fair in April. It was a great success, thanks to the many IGEMS families that shopped and shared their enthusiasm for books with their children. Over 2,000 books are in the hands of the students at IGEMS! Wow, that is something to be proud of!
The Scholastic Dollars earned from the sales will be used to replace well loved books and purchase additional books and materials for the IGEMS library and classroom libraries.
Each grade had the opportunity to visit the Book Fair during the school day and filled out a "Wishlist" which was then shared with their parents. IGEMS teachers were excited to receive a generous voucher from the Parent Teacher Club to purchase books on their wishlist as well. The ongoing support of the PTC is greatly appreciated!
A huge shout out to Ms. Schmidt and friends for the DINO-MITE decorations. And last but not least, the AMAZING volunteers and the FANTASTIC Junior Crew that made the Spring 2019 fair possible.
Thanks to all for your support!
