I.C.E.S. educators are “Nacho Average” teachers! To celebrate all the hard work, dedication, and care they have poured into the first nine weeks, the ICES administrative staff hosted a Nacho Bar for educators.
From planning meaningful lessons to supporting students and building relationships, educators' efforts make a difference every day. The admin team appreciates the teamwork and commitment educators bring to ICES and was excited to treat them to a well-deserved thank-you!
Thank you to our educators for helping us carry forward our Tradition of Pride, Future of Excellence, and Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from the I.C.E.S. administration!
Irwin County Elementary School would like to share our Pay Them with Praise initiative with the Irwin County community. Please join us in this video as we celebrate educators and recognize the amazing things they do every day!

Ms. TeQuoria Flowers' Kindergarten class at I.C.E.S. would love to share a seasonal activity!
This week we have been learning all about apples. We read fiction and nonfiction text. We also conducted some research and discovered interesting facts about apples! 📚🍏
Friday, we used the facts we learned to write our own All About Apples pieces. To wrap up the lesson we enjoyed a fun apple-tasting activity.
