#HeartoftheHive January 17-21
A Note From Your Principal
Dear IES Families,
I hope this weekly email finds you safe and healthy. We have experienced trying times to say the least between illness and most recently the weather. As a reminder, tomorrow is a student and staff holiday. All schools and offices will be closed for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Tuesday, January 18th is a virtual learning day for all students in D5. Students will return to the building in person on Wednesday, 1/19. Please take a look at the details below for our upcoming Virtual Irmo Strong Community 5K. Your support for our school, cluster and Irmo community means so much! Thank you!

This is a great way to encourage and support your school communities! Did you know that parent teacher organizations systematically provide extra fun and uplifting activities throughout the school year? This event exists to support Irmo schools’ parent groups (PTO, PTSO, PTA) in their desire to positively impact school environments, and to promote #IrmoStrong within our community. A portion of each registration goes to your school of choice!
Until Presidents Day Sale: $21 per registration until the end of the day on 2/21. Regular priced registrations are $35 per person.
