Mrs. Smith's 2nd grade class had a wonderful yet busy Craft Day on Friday, December 4th. They made all sorts of fun crafts like bird feeder snowmen, puzzle picture frames, wreath and candy cane beaded ornaments, and cinnamon gingerbread men that will make any home smell like Christmas!

Thanks to all the moms who were able to send things in and/or come and help out!

ISE Artist Display at the Kingsport Town Center

If you have a chance please thank Mrs. Webb for displaying ISE artwork in the Kingsport Town Center throughout the month of November. On November 12, the Mall held a nice reception for the students and their families and gave each participant a certificate. Our thanks go out to Mrs. Webb!

It's Beginning to Look...

... a lot like Christmas at ISE, thanks to Mrs. Counts and Mrs. Lancaster of the Grounds and Facilities committee. The lighted Christmas tree and garland at the entrance to the school make things nice and festive!

We would also like to thank Peggy Hatcher for creating these beautiful wreaths to adorn our front door!

Fourth Grade Caring

ISE 4th grade students made soft fleecy pillows for residents at Greystone Health Care Center.

Residents touched, hugged, and squeezed the pillows once they were told "children ages 9 and 10 made this just for you."

Along with the pillow, the students also sent a Christmas greeting.

Mrs. Robinette sang "The First Noel."

ISE once again has shared the true meaning of Christmas.
