The 4th graders hiked the Land Lab trails this past Wednesday with IHS Biology students in search of signs of wildlife. We observed everything from tracks, scat, rubs, bones, nests, sheds, etc. We had quite the adventure! :)




Stuff the Bus was a huge success! 🚌 We filled half a bus full of toys, games, books, and clothing and delivered them to a very thankful Garfield Hts school staff this afternoon 🧸🚂📚 So grateful to our student council, PTO, and all our amazing IPS families for their generosity this holiday season!! 💙💛
