Welcome from Mr. Hiley

Dear IG Families:

As we turn the calendar to June, I have invited our students to share a joke on the Morning Show. If you have a favorite family joke, we can record your child performing the joke and share it with the whole school as part of our morning announcements. You can record at home and send to me (Talking Points or lhiley@eastiron.org), or we can record at school. I would love to have a joke or two per day!

Also, entering June is a reminder that we have just four more Fridays (including today) for this newsletter. I would like to use this as an opportunity to show appreciation to a specific group of Ivan Green Heroes in each of my last four newsletters.

I want to start with highlighting our Ivan Green Lancers - the students of Ivan Green. From my first day here, I have been inspired by their wonder, moved by their kindness, and motivated by their potential. It has been my pleasure to work with and get to know you and your families. Even in the difficult moments, it is never lost on me the power of the impact a school has on shaping the life of a child. I am forever grateful for this opportunity. To celebrate our students, I will share a video from this morning's butterfly release. You might find your own Lancer in the video. At the very least, I am sure your child would love to watch it with you. Here is the link. This experience captured in this video highlights the wonder, kindness, and potential that I see in your children that I spoke of earlier.

Sincerely,

Lucas Hiley, Ed.D.
Principal
