CONGRATULATIONS GLOBETROTTERS!
We are so very proud of our iCademy Globetrotter Robotics Team for their place in the SEMI-FINALS at their most recent competition at Grand Valley State University this past weekend! Even in the face of adversity (the arm of their robot broke moments before one of their matches and they quickly fixed it!) they pulled together as a team and soldiered on! Well done, Team!!!
Check out this after match interview with one of our team members, Micah DeWard!

TULIP TIME PARADE – PARTICIPANTS WANTED – JOIN US, PLEASE!
There is a super fun opportunity coming our way to represent IES and who we are to the community of Holland, the surrounding area, and visitors.
On May 12th Tulip Time holds a parade to showcase kids and schools from around the community. This parade is called a Kinderparade. As Innocademy, iCademy and Precademy, we have signed up to participate in this parade to show off our students and the work we do here at IES.
HUGE THANKS to Ms. Renee for coordinating this adventure for us! She is looking for volunteers available on May 12th starting at about 1 pm to line up for the parade and we should be done by 3 pm – ish.
Please note…Per Tulip Time Parade Official Rules, all adults marching in the parade do need to be in dutch costume. If you don’t own one, you can check out one for free from the city as long as you reserve by April 13th and pick-up on April 22.
Parents marching with us will need to have a volunteer background check on file or complete the one, below and also be in dutch costume. Students marching do not need a dutch costume (they may absolutely wear one if they have it!) instead, they will receive a t-shirt with our theme. Students in Young 5s and Kindergarten must have an adult accompany them if they are participating. Students in 1st grade and above may participate without an adult.
Please SIGN UP, HERE by APRIL 10TH if you or your child wish to participate.
