Ivan Green Weekly Update

May 9, 2025

Welcome from Mr. Hiley

Dear IG Families:

We felt all the love this week for Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to our PTA and families who donated time and treats. It was a special week for all of us.

Another highlight from the week is that we are LOVING seeing the family projects of the Future Mr. Heartly. We are hanging them in the hallways, and they look fantastic! We look forward to all of you seeing them when you come for a visit.

As a reminder, this is the last weekend to email me placement information. I will accept family input for through Monday, May 12. My email is lhiley@eastiron.org

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers out there!

Sincerely,

Lucas Hiley, Ed.D.
Principal
