Today we celebrated two amazing people, Peggy Halsey and Gerald Stradling, as they retired from outstanding service in our school system. Words cannot express how truly appreciated and loved they both are by our IJSHS faculty and staff, family, and friends. The turnout was amazing, and we wish them nothing but the very best in their next chapter!
Keep writing your story, friends! You deserve the very best! ❤️
Our amazing IJSHS Cafeteria Staff surprised our students with a fun welcome this morning in the bus loop! 🤣 We are so thankful for them with their positive spirit and always doing whatever they can for our students! ❤️ #RiseAsOne
