Irwin County Elementary School received a special visit from State Superintendent of Schools Richard Woods. Superintendent Woods spoke to the fourth graders about the importance of historical documents like the United States Constitution, and he provided a copy of the Constitution for each student to keep.
Superintendent Woods also recognized Mrs. Alecia Martin and the third grade team with the John Hancock Award for working with the students last year on learning cursive writing and how to sign their names. Signatures are important throughout life, and as Mr. Woods pointed out, many historical documents are written in cursive.
I.C.E.S. deeply appreciates Superintendent Woods' visit and the recognition of our teachers' and students' hard work

Mrs. Lynn consistently demonstrates a willingness to step in and support others. Whether assisting administrative staff, teachers, or parents, she is always ready to lend a helping hand by providing support, gathering needed information, and helping ensure that everything runs smoothly. Her teamwork, dependability, and positive attitude make her a valuable asset to our school community. Mrs. Lynn, we appreciate you!
