From Mrs. Clausen, 2nd grade teacher: I am so proud of the students of mine who work hard to follow the RISE expectations and try their best everyday. These students deserve to be acknowledged. All January they have been earning a pizza party and today we got to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Keep up the good work! You are all wonderful! I always tell them that true integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.

Students enrolled in woodworking have adopted a new community project dedicated to the local veteran community. This work began many years ago, when retired shop teacher Dave Paynter started making the shadow boxes for the local VFW. Ironwood Area School Shop Program has pledged to continue the project. These shadow boxes house the shells of the shots fired at the funerals of veterans as well as the American flag. The shells reference the practice of firing three shots on the battlefield to signal a pause in fighting to remove the bodies of fallen soldiers. They also represent the three words, duty, honor, and country. The boxes are gifted to the families of veterans who have passed.
Students from Mrs. Lavinder's 4th grade class created marshmallow masterpieces yesterday. They started by creating igloos, and were so successful, that they added on to build larger structures. Excellent work!

Breakfast is served every school day from 7:15-8:00 a.m.
