All 4th, 5th, and 6th graders interested in girls' basketball this year, there will be practice beginning on Wednesday, August 14 from 5 to 6:30 at the elementary gym. We will again be playing in the league on Fridays at Cambridge Springs and we have added separate 5th and 6th grade games so that players may get 2 games on that night depending on our numbers. We have also added a separate 4th-grade team on Sundays at General McClane High School. There will be some independent games for 4th, 5th, and 6th played on Saturdays from teams that were in our league last year. All schedules are being completed as I hear from coaches. We should have everything complete. We are excited to be adding to the program as we build a competitive culture at Iroquois.

Last week the following students demonstrated that they have a "Heart of a Brave": Lincoln S., Vanessa H., and Victoria M. The positive little things that you are doing have not gone unnoticed. Go Braves!!
This 8th grade grade class definitely showed that they had a "Heart of a Brave" by being the most respectful students on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. With an awesome view of the Washington Monument.
Absorbing the history of the National Archive. These 8th graders are representing Iroquois so well.
