4th Grade Historians

Indian Springs 4th graders celebrated Constitution Day on September 17th. We are proud to be Americans! Look for the photo below in the "In View" feature of the newspaper soon.


Fourth Graders also enjoyed Pioneer Day 2009 on Friday, September 25th. Rocky Mount historians, Robert and Evelyn, gave us lots of information about pioneer medicine. We played pioneer games and made pioneer crafts. Thanks to our homeroom moms who contributed to the success of the day!

Look at these pioneers: Parker Mumpower, Rachel Lancaster, Reagan Lancaster, and Tanner Arnold.

Time to Link Up at Food City!!

Food City is kicking off a new program called School Bucks. Through this program, Food City will be donating $600,000 to area schools, and you can help Indian Springs earn a portion of the money! School Bucks replaces the former Apples for the Students program.

For every $10 of Food City exclusive brand purchases you make in a single shopping trip, Indian Springs Elementary will receive 1 point towards our School Bucks reward. The amount of money awarded to each school will be based on the percentage of total purchases of participating items by custumers. It’s like a pie – the size of our school’s slice depends on how much our supporters shop. All in all, Food City will be donating $600,000. The more you shop at Food City, the bigger our portion of the $600,000 will be!! Invite your friends, neighbors, and extended family to link their cards to Indian Springs as well! Let's get our whole network hooked up.

In order to qualify, your $10 purchases must be in Food City exclusive brands. Participating brands include:

Food City

Food Club

Full Circle

Paws

ValuTime

Top Care

Academix

Domestix

Electrix

EasyClix

World Classics

Dining-In

The program starts on Sunday, September 27, 2009, and ends on Saturday, May 1, 2010. Be sure to link your Food City ValuCards to Indian Springs Elementary so that we can start earning free cash!

Grandparents Day

Grandparents Day at Indian Springs was a huge success this year! Many thanks to all of the volunteers who worked very hard to make it happen. Also, thank you to all of those special adults who joined our students for lunch.

Lots of visitors lined the walkway as they waited for each grade level's lunch time.


The cafeteria was full of children enjoying lunch with their visitors!





The wonderful ISE Cafeteria Staff prepared a terrific lunch!


Good Hope Gardens & Landscape, located just down the road at 5237 Highway 126, was kind enough to donate beautiful fall mums as doorprizes for our Grandparents Day visitors.

The Results are In. . .

As you enter the school in the next few weeks take a look at the bulletin board in the front hall. The PTA membership drive results are posted and linked. If you still have not joined the 220 member strong ISE PTA there is still time to do so ... you might just be that missing link!

Congrats goes out to the the following classes and teachers who had the largest PTA membership numbers per grade. All of the winning classes received water bottles donated by All Season Storage. We even had a tie in the kindergarten and 3rd grade classes! Way to go students, teachers, parents, grandparents, and friends!
