Happy Holidays, everyone! #iPride


The 4th graders hiked the Land Lab trails this past Wednesday with IHS Biology students in search of signs of wildlife. We observed everything from tracks, scat, rubs, bones, nests, sheds, etc. We had quite the adventure! :)




Thank you to the High School's Wind and Vocal Ensembles for getting us in the holiday spirit! Both groups put on a fabulous show this week!





Having a little fun with some fantastic Independence teachers @ our Educator Appreciation Practice. Thanks for all you do for our young men! #IndyPride
