Dear Iroquois Family,
Good afternoon, here is important information for the week of May 5th:
As we move through May, we take time to honor and recognize all those who dedicate themselves each day to the success and well-being of our students—our incredible teachers, nurses, support staff, and administrators. At Iroquois, we are fortunate to have some of the very best, and we are deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment to helping our children thrive and grow into active, caring members of society.
With spring in full swing, we invite you to join us for some exciting musical events showcasing our talented students:
- Middle School Band Concert – Tuesday, May 6th at 7:00 PM, Middle School Auditorium
- 5th Grade Chorus and Orchestra Concert – Thursday, May 8th at 7:00 PM, High School Auditorium
These performances promise to be inspiring displays of our students’ hard work and dedication.
