Good afternoon Viking Families,

Over the past month, our students have dived into the fascinating world of cells! Through hands-on microscope labs, interactive games, and creative 3D models, they’ve been fully immersed in learning about the building blocks of the human body—and Mr. White, one of our beloved student monitors, even joined in on the fun!
Building a strong foundation in cell biology does more than just prepare students for science class—it empowers them for life. As medical science and technology rapidly evolve, understanding these core concepts helps students make informed choices for their own health and the health of their families. Plus, expanding their scientific vocabulary demystifies complex medical topics, making health discussions much less intimidating whenever issues arise.
Evendale Elementary remains open and is operating on its normal schedule.
First Student Transportation will work around the road closures, but families should be prepared for possible bus delays in the Evendale area.
Evendale Elementary has water pressure and is NOT currently under a boil advisory. Students are encouraged to bring a full, clear water bottle to school each day this week.

Pictured here are a few highlights showcasing what makes our IC community extraordinary.
At the IC, we empower students across academics, athletics, artistry, and self-expression—and above all, we nurture their dreams. We embrace the diverse backgrounds our students bring each day, guiding them along personalized paths toward their goals.
Ms. Hurt-Hayes recently led a whole school activity encouraging students to analyze their strengths and aspirations both individually and as peer sounding boards. As one student shared, “I love it here!”
