An amazing scholarship opportunity! Students pursuing a 2-year vocational type degree that attend either Iron Mountain, Breitung, Norway, North Dickinson, Forest Park, West Iron, Niagara or Florence schools!
All local EK-5th grade teachers were invited to participate in grade level professional learning days at the ISD this month! Teachers who attended got to participate in wellness activities provided by our Behavioral Services Team and literacy learning provided by our Literacy Team. They also had time to collaborate with teachers from all six local schools, share some of the great things happening in their classrooms, and even got to go home with some fun giveaways too!

Thank you for your time!
Today, on behalf of the ISD, we recognize the brave men and women who have served our great nation with courage, dedication, and sacrifice. Our very own, Darren and Rob shared that they are Veterans from the United States Air Force.
When asked if you would like to share something from being in the military, Darren wrote: It was an incredible journey that forged lifelong bonds and granted me membership in a brotherhood beyond compare. I explored destinations I'd never dreamed of because of making an unwavering commitment. The training I received and the experiences I had are truly unique, setting me apart from most. Whether stationed in a tropical paradise or a remote, challenging location, I embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and made unforgettable memories. This journey not only shaped my character but also instilled in me a strong sense of discipline, resilience, and a deep appreciation for service and sacrifice. It's an experience I wouldn't trade for the world.
Thank you again! Happy Veterans Day to all who have served!
Winners!!
