Summer Reading Tips
We are so lucky to have these ladies as part of our school!
Elise Parham was named teacher of the year at IVE. She is our music teacher, and responsible for most of our amazing programs. She goes above and beyond to give our students a chance to shine. The hours she puts in for student performances is astonishing. If you attended awards day- you can thank her for all the entertainment. Willy Wonka and The Nutcracker were also possible because of her. Not only does she do all that, she teaches all students everyday to love music.
Katie Wiggins was selected as support person of the year. Mrs. Wiggins is always involved in whatever is happening. She has been instrumental in our Student Lighthouse Team. She is behind most of the fun photo booths you see on our special days. She is always there to lend a helping hand, and make days memorable for our students and parents. This is on top of everything she does to help and support our kids every single day. She is wonderful, and we are so glad to have her!
We have had an amazing day at Heritage Day! Students have been able to learn about soap making, bluegrass music, foraging, Cherokee culture, rock tumbling, jam and jelly making, quilting, trapping, goats, horses, and fly fishing. Thank you so much to all of our presenters: Evan Fowler, Kim Terrell & Macon County Cooperative Extension, Julie Kolodzik, Fish Tales Outfitters, Josh Anderson, Kara Setser & 4H, Ann Jobe, Spencer Chambers, Lindy and Rebekah Blanton, Gem & Mineral Society, and Jimmy Harlan. We appreciate you donating your time and expertise to our students!
Thank you for everyone's support last week as we celebrated our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week.
