Today in Food Science class, students learned about emulsions by making homemade mayonnaise! Using one egg, vegetable oil, and lemon juice with a hand-operated immersion blender, they got hands-on experience seeing how ingredients combine to form an emulsion.
While no one was a fan of the look or taste, students were surprised by how long it took for the mixture to solidify!
Irwin County Middle School kicked off its first PBIS Celebration of the 2025–2026 school year with a high-energy PBIS Draft Party held in the school gym. The event celebrated students who have consistently demonstrated the ICMS PBIS expectations of being Responsible, Respectful, and Safe.
Students were greeted with the official Draft Pick Music as their names were called and they were “drafted” onto one of the three PBIS teams—Team Responsible, Team Respectful, or Team Safe. The celebration included a variety of fun, low-maintenance activities such as the PBIS Team Toss, Paper Football Challenge, and quick relay games that kept the energy high and the laughter rolling.
Throughout the event, students showed outstanding behavior, positive sportsmanship, and teamwork. Teachers and staff cheered on their teams, and everyone enjoyed the spirited, sports-themed atmosphere.
The ICMS PBIS Team would like to congratulate all students who earned their place in the PBIS Draft Party and remind everyone to continue being Responsible, Respectful, and Safe every day at Irwin County Middle School.

Today, Mrs. Allyson Tankersley's third grade class explored division by reading the book _The Doorbell Rang_ and learning how to divide into fair shares using cookie cereal. The students divided the cookies into equal groups and wrote the division equations. At I.C.E.S., learning math can be fun--and yummy!
Pack your bags, National School Lunch Week is almost here!

First grade made math sweet today! Students used M&M’s to sort, graph, add, and subtract — turning candy into a colorful math lesson.
🌟 A Clean School = A Better Learning Environment! 🌟
Mission 3E believes that when our surroundings are clean, our minds are clearer and our learning environment is stronger. 🧠✨
Last week, our Mission 3E mentors rolled up their sleeves and kicked off a School Clean-Up Project, starting with the gym bleachers! 🧹💪
But this is just the beginning — more clean-up projects are on the way! Mission 3E is challenging every student to take pride in our school:
✅ Don’t litter
✅ Respect our spaces
✅ Help keep our campus clean especially the bathrooms and welcoming for everyone
Together, we can make Irwin County High School a place we’re proud to call home. ❤️🖤

Congratulations to Jayden Paulk, 8th-grade Physical Science teacher at ICMS! She is a proud recipient of the Bright Ideas Grant from Irwin EMC. She plans to use these funds to help bring science to life for her students by purchasing new equipment for hands-on experiments.
Mrs. Faulk’s 8th-grade ELA students kicked off their new horror unit in a chilling way—reading The Tell-Tale Heart by flashlight! The eerie atmosphere set the perfect stage for diving into suspense, tone, and mood while making literature come alive in the classroom.
Hope you can join us tomorrow night! Go Indians!!!

Students in Mrs. Edgar's classroom worked on Unit 3- Measurement today. Students measured gummy worms by stretching the gummy worm to compare the difference in lengths . They had so much fun exploring measurement and using the new additions to their math boxes, a ruler!
