Join us in celebrating our amazing ILS Wentzville Faculty & Staff May 3rd- May 7th! Here are the ways that we will be showering our extremely talented and dedicated teachers, principals, nurse, assistants, librarian, pastors, custodians, cafeteria directors, and office staff with love and gratitude each day that week; we are so very excited! While the students will have something up their sleeves when their teachers are enjoying their luncheon on 5/5, one additional way that your student(s) can participate in the fun on Thursday, 5/6 is to purchase a flower for one (or more!) faculty and/or staff member(s) on their way into school that morning. Starting at 7:45am, our very own ILS family-owned Feel Good Flower Truck will be parked under the church overhang, waiting for your student(s) to purchase beautiful, freshly-cut, single stemmed flowers. Each flower costs $3 (cash). Students can enjoy the gift of brightening faculty/staff member's days, all while supporting a fellow family's "blooming" business!


See you all on Monday!
IHS,
Allison Dolak
Principal
