One of the "clubs" that students can join by earning A.R. points is the "A.R. Influencers," and we have our very first two students who made this club for the school year. Congratulations to Payzli Stephenson and Willow Farmer!
Students in grades 1-5 will have a chance to earn new prizes each month, and we look forward to seeing our students excel as readers and leaders this year. Thank you to our teachers, staff, parents, and guardians for supporting our students in their reading at school and home.
Today Mr. Don came to Irwin County Elementary to open the school's yearly cookie dough fundraiser. This fundraiser, which allows students to sell a variety of items in addition to cookie dough, helps raise funds for school initiatives and new playground equipment.
Your student will bring home a packet today with a parent letter, catalog, order form, and directions for how you and your friends and relatives can shop and support the school. Items will arrive at I.C.E.S. after fall break, or they can also be delivered through the mail. Your student has the opportunity to win a variety of prizes, such as time on the gaming trailer, Amazon gift cards, and extra cookie dough.

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.!

Mrs. Mixon's and Mrs. Harris' fourth grade ELA classes worked together in groups creating direct quotations, writing supportive paragraphs, and connecting meaning to figurative language. I.C.E.S. students are fortunate to have teachers who make learning relevant and fun, too!
(Third post due to file size): On Friday, September 11, Irwin County Elementary School was proud to host our first "Games with Grandparents" Day.

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 Superintendent Woods spoke to the fourth graders about the importance of historical documents like the United States Constitution, and he provided a copy of the Constitution for each student to keep.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

Irwin County Elementary awarded the Chief of the Week/ Principal's Award to Mrs. Lynn Turner, our front office receptionist. 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!
