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.

Refunding 101

It’s time again for the Refunding pick up! Please bring in your Box Tops, Campbell’s Labels, and Tyson A+ labels. Please have your labels turned in to your child’s homeroom teacher by Tuesday, November 10^th.

Remember, the classroom with the most contributions wins a prize. Congratulations to Mrs. Pendleton’s kindergarten class for having the most contributions for the first six weeks!

Please trim the labels neatly before sending them into your child’s homeroom class. If you are unsure of what is important on the labels, please refer to the following pictures.

Box Tops should be trimmed to the dotted lines. Please double check that the labels have not expired.

Campbell’s labels should be trimmed to include the UPC code and the point value. Please note that if you cut out only the UPC code, we have no way of knowing if the label was a 1-point or a 5-point label. Therefore, we have to redeem them as 1-point labels. We could be losing points this way. If your label does not have a point value listed, as in the bottom label in the picture, it is worth one point.

We need the entire label off the Tyson package.

This is a simple way for our school to earn lots of free money. Please help us earn as much as we possibly can! These little labels add up quickly!!
