ISE ART SHOW 2010

ISE has never looked so good thanks to Mrs. Webb!!!

If you missed the Art Show on Thursday you missed some very talented ISE students work! We have wonderful Related Arts teachers at ISE and it sure shows when we see such fantastic artwork, and musicals and all the other wonderful events these great teachers put on. Make sure you thank them for all their hard work with our kids! They are teaching them the building blocks of art, music, sport, etc.!!!

A Winning Essay!

A "Character Counts" contest was recently held in Sullivan County for 4th grade students. Each student was given the opportunity to write a short essay. After careful judging by the FCE (National Association for Family & Community Education), our very own Reagan Lancaster received first place in county competition! She went on to Immanuel Lutheran Church on March 18 to read her essay and receive her ribbon and certificate. We congratulate Reagan! Not only is her "writing of character" commendable, but her own personal character is of the highest degree as well. Great job, Reagan!


Submitted by the 4th grade teachers: Mrs. Mains, Mrs. Robinette, and Mrs. Calhoun.

Thank you to all who participated in our Hearts for the House drive at school. We were able to raise $773 to benefit the Southern Appalachian Ronald McDonald House! Way to go ISE!

2nd Grade "Suessical" with Two Very Special Guests!

The second graders gave the school along with friends and family a hand-raising good time presenting "Suessical" in honor of Dr. Suess and Read-Across-America.

Thanks to Mrs. Edwards once again for all her hard work and also to Mrs. Scott for the cutest Thing T-shirts!

Mr. Dale also had a wonderful surprise for the entire school as two famous local favorites read Dr. Suess books in celebration of Read-Across-America!

Special Visitors in 4th Grade

Three employees of the Sullivan County Sheriff's Department came on Tuesday, March 2 to celebrate READ ACROSS AMERICA with ISES 4th graders.


We enjoyed Ms. Wiggles the clown, who played a game with us about bullying.

Sheriff Wayne Anderson read us a Dr. Seuss story. He also took part in a question and answer session. We learned a lot about being Sheriff of Sullivan County.

Ms. Crabtree took pictures of our fun morning! We thoroughly enjoyed the day!
