9/25 was DOLLY DAY in Mrs. Kendrick’s Kindergarten class at I.C.E.S.! 💕🎶
The students read Dolly books about her childhood, life, dreams, and generosity; learned about her Coat of Many Colors; made our own cowboy & cowgirl hats; listened to Dolly’s children’s music; and, of course, enjoyed Dolly’s favorites—potato chips & sweet tea! 🥔🥤
Our little cowboys and cowgirls had a day full of learning, laughter, music, and a whole lot of Dolly sparkle! ✨💗

At the Irwin County Homecoming Parade on Friday, I.C.E.S. celebrated our Employees of the Year. Mrs. Heather Ross is our certified employee of the year, and she went on to be selected as the 2026-2027 Teacher of the Year for the Irwin County School System!
Mrs. Lynn Turner, classified employee of the year, was unable to be present for the parade, so I.C.E.S. made sure she was still represented with a life-sized cutout on our float. Mrs. Rontee Barnes, I.C.E.S. Principal, rode and displayed Mrs. Turner's image.
We are so proud of both of our employees of the year, and all of the hard work they reflect at I.C.E.S.!
