ANOTHER LEARNING EXPERIENCE

IPA CONFERENCE

When you are young, you think that once you are done with school you will know everything! However, as an adult you realize that life is a continuous learning journey. At the beginning of this week, I attended the Illinois Principal Association conference in Peoria. Each session I attended gave me new ideas and perspectives to implement at Elizabeth Ide. I enjoyed sharing the weekend with my colleagues and bouncing ideas off of peers. The school ran smoothly in my absence and I thank my staff for being so wonderful!!!

GYM NIGHT

Last Friday, October 16th, Ide had Gym Night to raise funds for our Character Counts/Positive PAWS program. Thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Tran and many staff members and parents we raised $700.00. Thank you to all of you who participated in this wonderful evening!

HALLOWEEN PARTY

Tomorrow, Friday, October 23rd we will have the Halloween Fun Night from 6:30 - 8:30. There are many families attending this event so please take advantage of our shuttle bus service from Prairieview. I will see many of you tomorrow for a "ghoulish" time!
