Iowa-Grant School District

Help us wish Stephanie Dirks a wonderful retirement! Stephanie has been with the district for over 33 years. She has worn many hats for our district from high school math teacher, elementary & high school computer teacher, and our information systems manager. Stephanie works countless hours to ensure that our district's technology is running smoothly. She is basically on call 24/7. She troubleshoots problems that staff and students have with their technology/classroom devices. She is a lifesaver for many. She has been very dedicated and loyal to our district. We wish her all the best as she enjoys this next chapter in her life!

Thank you to the Class of 1973 for coming back on Saturday and celebrating with the Class of 2023. Thank you to the Iowa-Grant Education Foundation for donating the Class of '73 with the Iowa-Grant History book. Go Panthers!

Thank you Schilling Farms for hosting our 4th grade field trip last week. It was a beautiful day to be on the farm. We appreciate your time and energy taken for this day. The cow donuts made us smile! A big shout out to the Cobb Busy Badgers 4-H club and Iowa-Grant FFA for assisting. Your gift of cheese was appreciated.

Throughout second semester, FFA members and Ag students worked hard caring for the three tower garden growing systems that they were able to purchase through IGEF grant dollars and the Elmer G. Biddick Charitable Foundation. They grew a variety of lettuce and herbs for the high school lunch program. They look forward to continuing this project next school year! Who knows? Maybe they will explore other vegetables and fruits.... 🍓🥒🌶️🫑🥬🍅

Today, Kindergarten had lemonade themed centers and enjoyed lemonade. The children decided they liked pink lemonade best!

Sixth graders went on the last outdoor education field trip. They enjoyed hiking and viewing the mounds at Effigy Mounds in the morning. In the afternoon, students took a boat ride on the Mississippi River and learned about birds, barges and a variety of other topics related to the river. Captain Bob had many great stories and knowledge he shared with the students.

First graders had so much fun on their field trip! First stop was Faherty Recycling where we learned about the recycling process and how items can be reused to make new products. Then it was time for some outside fun at a park and a hike up the Big M. We ended our day with a movie and popcorn!

Third grader, Eden P, missed the Reading Millionaire photo by mere hours. She successfully reached her goal of reading a million words on Thursday afternoon. Congratulations, Eden!
