Principal's Message
Dear Indian Creek Families,
We have had such an exciting October here at ICIS. Thank you to everyone who came in for parent teacher conferences. We are grateful for all the family support that this school has! Thank you to our outstanding PTO for organizing Halloween Halls last Friday. It was a wonderful collaboration between the elementary and intermediate. The students had a great time! If you would like to be more involved with NHJ PTO, please join us on our next meeting Tuesday, Nov 21st at 6pm in the ICES cafeteria. We hope to see you there!
We are looking forward to our Veterans Day Celebration on Friday, November 10th. We will have guest Veteran readers come to each classroom to read a story. Following the reading, classes will head to the gym for a whole school convocation. We are excited to honor our local heroes!
Johnson County 4H Week will be Nov 6-10th. During this week, the Johnson County 4H program send their 4H Ambassadors to each school to talk to the students. High School students will be coming on Monday, November 6th to speak to each class during their lunch about 4H, what it is, and how to join.
βItβs the first day of autumn! A time of hot chocolatey mornings, and toasty marshmallow evenings, and, best of all, leaping into leaves!β β Winnie the Pooh
Happy fall! π° π

AP Announcements
Congratulations to our Follow Your Arrow recipients for quarter 1. For this award, each teacher is allowed to nominate just one student. For the criteria, we ask teachers to look for the following things:
A student who consistently models our school-wide expectations for respect, responsibility, and safety.
A student who always works to achieve their personal best, behaviorally or academically.
All recipients were surprised with the announcements of their awards at a school wide convocation on October 19th, recognized in front of their peers, and were also given a certificate with a blurb written by their nominating teacher. We loved being able to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments.
We are exceptionally proud of all winners and are grateful to have such wonderful students at Indian Creek Intermediate!

Counselor's Corner
Happy November!! As I look back on last month, I really enjoyed getting to know the students a little more and spent a lot of time in their classrooms. October was National Bullying Prevention Month and we really worked together and had great discussions on how to continue to treat others with respect and kindness here at ICIS. All students pledged to add one kind activity/word to their day and they are reminded daily of this by the chain they have made throughout the school. I am proud of all of them for understanding that being accepting, kind, and inclusive can help make our school a better place.
