Week 22 Jan. 29- Feb. 2

Team Urban,

We've got spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit, how 'bout you?? This week was our 5th time and 3rd consecutive week in a row!  Racheal Storman was resourceful and made big ILCS letters for our Lions' Cheer. Again, another week of teamwork and being proactive! Enjoy the short video below of their celebration after hearing the announcement that we won!





Leader of the Week for Jan. 29-Feb. 2:  Joshua Barre

The end of the 2nd trimester is right around the corner. Please remember that February 28th is the last day to AR. Also, since second trimester conferences are optional, for many, we will be hosting Student-Led conferences during the week of March 12th - 16th. More details on the specific date and time coming soon.

Also, please remember that ILCS is a leadership school and service is something we value greatly. Your kiddo is required to complete a service project and 8 hours of service. The project will be due in May. Additionally, our grade level service project will be completed after Spring Break and all of our contributions will go to help YAPS. These activities always bring a huge smile to everyone involved!

Our class will be having a Valentine's Day celebration on February 14th 12-1. Please know that your child does not have to distribute Valentine cards, but if they choose to, they must include everyone in the class. I will attach a class list on our Google Classroom for all to view. Thank you for helping our celebration be a success!

Lastly, we have some exciting news! Third grade will be going on a field trip to the California Theater in San Bernardino on Friday, March 16th. We will be seeing Beauty and the Beast. We are excited for this opportunity to see a Performing Arts show! Please donate to Dollar-A-Day as theses funds are what support our field trips. Tickets cost $12.50 per student. Please understand that seat/tickets are assigned limited since this is a theater performance. This means that we will not need chaperone signups for this field trip. Please be on the look-out for a permission slip in February.
