Reminder for next Monday:


Warriors,
November brings lots of things: cool weather (sometimes), fall colors, big Thanksgiving meals, and of course the Clemson vs USC game!
How do we, at ILIS, celebrate this age-old rivalry in our great state? By having students vote on their favorite team with Kindness Bundles!
Starting November 13th, students can bring in Kindness Bundles to their homeroom and use their bundle to place a vote for their favorite team. Once the drive ends on November 17th, we will declare a winner and send Yoga Bill off with hundreds of bags to help our homeless community in the greater Charlotte Area!
To find out more about this project, please watch the video linked below. While bringing complete bags are highly encouraged, we will also accept loose items.
Thank you for your support, Warriors! And may the best team win!

Hey Parents!
Here's what's going on in Math and Science at ILIS!


Our Favorite Friday of the Month is THIS WEEK!! We will see you in the car rider line!!


What a Gas! Ms. Phillips’ class conducted a science experiment to make a chemical reaction with baking soda, water bottles, vinegar & balloons! 🧪 🎈
5th Grade Parents- ask your student about chemical and physical reactions!







Don't Forget on Wednesday, aka tomorrow, we wear PINK! Come dressed in pink to show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!


Happy Sunday, Families! Check out what was happening In Mrs. Roberts' and Mrs. Goodwin's science class last week! Their student Gino took it upon himself to create a presentation, complete with two review games, about what they have been learning in science. Everyone was impressed and enjoyed taking turns at the Smart Board playing the games.
Great job, Gino!! 💙💛





Last week Mrs. Driggers' Science classes continued to learn about matter by exploring a chemical reaction between 2 common household items: vinegar and baking soda! Carbon Dioxide filled the balloons and student excitement filled the classroom. Check out the video below to see their experiments in action!

We have a fun update from the Encore department! Journalism students learned how to operate a DSLR camera and compose a good photograph. Students were then tasked with the challenge of creating a photo for the following categories. Artistic, action, frame, leading lines, group and portrait. These are some photographs that were taken while they were working and also some of their amazing work!











Make sure you check your closet for pink, because on Wednesday that's what we're wearing in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!!


Ms. Buck has a cool project going on in her class! She writes, "We have been learning about the different ways that heat transfers. One way is through the process of convection. Today students modeled convection currents by adding warm and cold water to a basin of water at room temperature. Students recorded their observations. Once they recorded their observations, students used their knowledge of density, convection, and their recent observations to explain how their model showed a convection current. Then students were shown a map of global ocean currents which they analyzed to connect the lab activity to the real world."
This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!








Big BIG thank you to DiNicola Remodeling for filling up our bellies this morning! There could not be a better way to end the week than with giant muffins, mountains of donuts and enough coffee to get us through the day. We enjoyed every bite! 😋💙💛

Congratulations to Ms. Compton and Ms. Arrowood's classes for being our top earners for 🔴BOOSTERTHON🔴!
Ms. Compton's students brought in $5400 and Ms. Arrowood's brought in $6000! 😲We will be able to do so much with these funds and are very grateful to everyone who donated!
Being our top 5th and 6th grade classes come with bragging rights, sure, but more importantly? It comes with a PIZZA party! PTO provided Dominos and Admin passed it out to the happy kids. 😋
.We shot for the moon with our goal of $75,000, and you helped us surpass it. Again- thank you to all of our Warrior Families for your donations!
