Letter from the Prinicpal
Dear Parents,
There are so many exciting things coming up at Indian Knoll. Our first grade students will be performing on Tuesday, February 7 beginning at 6:30 p.m. IKES PTA is hosting the first Variety Show this Friday, February 10 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 28. This will include class pictures as well as individual pictures. Our Winter Break begins Monday, February 20 through February 24. 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 student ambassadors have taken to promote as well as work these events. Our ambassadors have also been very helpful at other events this year such as our Veterans Day program and our PTA President/Principal luncheon.
We are very proud of our IKES Reading Bowl participants. They won every round in this year’s competition. Our Techno Wizards also did a great job of representing our school in their competition a few weeks ago. We had several place in first, second and third. Our first place winners will move on to Regional competition in March!
Our school is hosting the February CCEF (Cherokee County Education Foundation) Board meeting. We will “wow” these board members with our Techno Wizards and their technology expertise. We will also have some of our first graders perform part of their program for these special visitors.
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.
