Starting tomorrow, we will begin State testing in the GS & MS. The testing will be done on the student Chromebooks. We ask that all students & families try their best to make sure devices are charged each night and brought to school each day.
Thank you in advance for helping make this hectic week go as smoothly as possible.
Have a great week!

The Friday before Spring Break...Mr. Burks & our 8th graders presented their annual Wax Museum. This event was open to the public and had a terrific turn out.
Last year, The Class created a specific place on the ICMS portion of the IC website to post photos of these students. Our plan is to make this page an archive of the Wax Museums.
You can see all of the photos from this year by visiting the Illini Central website & mousing over the Mr. Burks Wax Museum tab.

For Teacher Appreciation Week (May 8-12), Dr. Durbin and Mr. Kloba want to show the staff how much they are appreciated!
We will play Lucky Duck 🦆… all staff will get a duck. The duck has a number. All throughout the week, we will draw numbers. If a staff member wins, they will get to choose from the stash. We will do this until all prizes are gone!
If you would like to donate gifts (products, gift cards, food, candy, fun office supplies, etc.) or want to support the staff at ICMS and ICHS, we are accepting ALL things to show our all-star teachers how much they are appreciated! If you want to make monetary donations, we will use them to purchase prizes. W want to make it a fun week for our staff, so please help us show them how much they are appreciated!
Prizes can be dropped off at the school or to Dr. Durbin.

Mrs. Realmo's Class Studies Nonrenewable Resources
We have been studying nonrenewable resources in Earth science class. We had a lab where we could explore mining and see how it affects the environment. The students got to mine chocolate chips out of cookies and see how good they were at it. They even got to see how much money they would make based on how many chocolate chips they mined, the environmental impact, and how long it took them to mine.
The ICMS Scholastic Bowl team stays at home for a meet today against the West Lincoln Broadwell Wolverines.
The meet is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
Wishing our students well this afternoon.

ICHS requires all our students to participate in mock interviews before graduation. Recent graduates told us they wished we would have done it earlier in their high school careers. We are listening to their feedback and moving this to sophomore year, but we want to ensure that all of our juniors and seniors also get this experience.
To make this happen, we need your help! If you are interested in participating in interviews during the month of March, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/CHBS9SkZBdkduqqu7. We will be in touch with more details once we have our interviewers. Thanks in advance!
