100 Years of Graduating Students!

We will graduate our 100th class of students in June 2011. Throughout the school year (2010 - 2011) we will have many special events.

Celebration Events

Plans for the IJS Centennial Celebration are underway!  The following events are being planned: 

Library Renovation

100 New Library Books

As part of our Centennial Year, we are offering families the opportunity to contribute to the library. All books will have a special label acknowledging the donor. We are hoping to add 100 new books - biographies and Caldecott Medal Award books. If you are interested in purchasing one of these books for the school, please see Mrs. Dumont or click here for a list of books that are wanted.
