Tiny little voices cheering “Congratulations!” could be heard throughout the halls of Ingleside Primary School this morning as students shared their happiness for the Seniors of Ingleside High School while they conducted their final Senior Walk through the hallways. Such a proud moment for Seniors to reflect on the hard work and determination it took to reach this important milestone in their lives. Way to go, Mustangs!
“ARE ROCKS EATEN BY LAVA?” & “WHERE DO ROCKS GET THEIR COLORS FROM?”: Those are just a few of the questions that stemmed from 2nd graders at Ingleside Primary School. Student authors from Blaschke Sheldon Elementary came to read their books they wrote and illustrated about the rock cycle. Their confidence, creativity, and passion was on full display as they shared their final products. We appreciate their willingness to share what they know with others in their footsteps!
HAPPY SPEECH PATHOLOGIST DAY! Speech Pathologists are specialists in communication. They focus on the various parts of speech including language, voice, fluency and swallowing.
