SHOUT OUT THE ACCOLADES
Congratulations to IRCHS TV Production! This group of dedicated students recently entered a video contest for Lights! Camera! Save!...a campaign lead by the American Bankers Association Education Foundation in an effort to teach children and teens about the importance of saving money. In an effort to bring out the best in her students, Mrs. Dixon split her class into four teams. The teams worked together to create a video about saving money, in less than 2 minutes. The class then voted on what they felt was the "best" video to send off to competition. The winning team and overall regional winner consisted of students Alexis Barnard, Frank Hart and Justin Nigg. This group of students won a $200 Visa Gift Card and advancement to the National Competition where they are competing for $3000. Students plan to use their winnings to purchase equipment needed to enhance their weekly newscast, WOLF-TV. You can view their winning PSA and newscasts at YouTube Channel IRCHSTV. Congratulations to Mrs. Dixon's IRCHS TV Students! River Charter High School is looking for a couple of host families to take in German Exchange Students who would love to attend IRCHS in the Spring.

The Treasure Coast Victoria Fleet 105 meets every Saturday, weather permitting, at Indian River Estates in the 7400 block of State Road 60, on the right side. After the guard gate, go to the stop sign and turn right. Follow the road along the water until you come to the dock on your right. We start racing our radio controlled Victoria sailboats at 10 a.m. and finish at approximately 11:30 a.m. There are courses marked off in the water with floating buoys and we decide which course we will run each time we meet. Come out to see the races or try your hand at sailing with the radio controls.
