The Fitnessgram Pacer Test measures a student's fitness and endurance. It is an aerobic capacity running test that gets more difficult as it continues. The students run 20 meters back and forth across a marked track keeping time with beeps that sound more quickly during each level. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves to run faster and longer each time that they attempt the test. Iowa-Grant Middle School students complete the Pacer Test every quarter in Physical Education class. Their scores of completed laps are measured each time to see improvement as the year goes on.
Middle School students did an outstanding job on their first Pacer Test of the year. Check out the impressive high scores of each grade.

Alexis T-B. has received a GOLD RATING on her Dairy Production Entrepreneurship Proficiency Award on the NATIONAL LEVEL! Back in June, she was the STATE WINNER in her proficiency award area. Only the state winner in each category earn the opportunity to submit their application to the National Level.
Alexis received her first Brown Swiss because she begged her dad for one after falling in love with their personality. Now, Alexis owns a herd of 100 Brown Swiss, with 70% being born on the family farm. Alexis assists in all aspects of daily care including feeding, cleaning pens, milking cows, monitoring herd health, and treating sickness. In 2019, Alexis was able to gain even further skills, as she started making the breeding decisions, keeping records, and doing registration for her herd. Additionally, Alexis provides special care to her show cattle by walking, washing, and feeding a special ration to them to ensure that they are ready for show day!
Congratulations, Alexis! We are proud of you!


It is hard to think about snow on a beautiful day like today. Thank you to the IG Parent Teacher Club for purchasing sleds for students to sled during classroom recess. Students always enjoy time on the sled hill and now IGEMS is ready for the snowy sled hill to arrive.
