February Students of the Month were recognized at Monday night's board meeting. From left to right: Madeline Kane, Cody Dabb, Leyna Gerlach, Piper Garvan, and Zackrey Panek. Students are awarded the RISE certificate by displaying Respect, Integrity, Safety, and Excellence. Congratulations, students!
Those pesky leprechauns were busy even on a snow day! They managed to get around the leprechaun traps the students set out. The leprechauns left a mess, but at least they left a little gold and some sweet treats!
Accent! performed for various groups of students today to prepare for a competition this Wednesday, March 22. While Ironwood is a small school, Accent! performs in the Class A division to compete to go to State Festival in Stevens Point. They will sing Billy Joel's "And So it Goes", and the song "Opening Up", from the musical "Waitress". The performance on Wednesday is in Bessemer at 1:18. This event is open to the public.
Congratulations to our January Students of the Month! Aiden Bach, James Balchik, and Lexi Aspinwall (picture one) and Rex Thomas (picture two). These students showed excellent RISE expectations and were awarded certificates at the board meeting in January. Nice work!

Thank you to both the CTE Food Systems and Natural Resource Class and Ms. Wardynski for planting sunflowers, radishes, tomatoes, and basil with Mrs. Boyd’s 2nd grade class. Recently, the 2nd grade students learned about soil and the lifecycle of plants. An example of a lesson coming to life!
More fun from Pi Day! Mrs. Fechter's students competed to see who could roll ten dice to match the first ten numbers of Pi. Students competed in brackets to determine a winner for each class. Kim Pferrer, Camilla DeGrave, Landon Buerger, Robert Roberts, Jazlynn Oja, and Gabriella Duva were the winners of each hour. How many numbers of Pi can you name?
The Pi competition continued into 7th hour, where Pi finals took place. Maddie Braucher took 1st place with a whopping 243 numbers of Pi memorized! Jacinta Lauzon came in 2nd with 219 numbers, and Breanna Freeman came in 3rd with 144 numbers. Congratulations for working so hard!
Two of our seniors competing for Pi! Emily Martinson and Haley Agee pose with the numbers of Pi.

We have some intense competitions going on here at Ironwood! In Mr. Lyons' class, students in the 7th grade competed for the most memorized numbers of Pi. Aila Ruotsala won in 1st hour, and Caydin Kangas won both in her 2nd hour class and overall for 7th grade. Riley DeTray won a contest for drawing the most perfect circle on a tablet (it's harder than it looks!) We will have more updates as the day goes along!
The sixth graders read the book Woodsong, by Gary Paulsen. The book is about Gary's experiences while training sled dogs, and his race in the Iditarod. Students created a scene illustration of the book to demonstrate understanding. Nice work, students!
