For all they do.... 

StuGo, along with Club Kindness, would like to recognize one or two staff members each month for their kindness.  For the month of September, we would like to recognize:   

• Mrs. Gordon for being a genuine and attentive listener and for always being happy and nice to the students. She sees over 600 students a day and is always helpful to everyone!
• Mrs. Kane. "Beautiful things don't ask for attention" and this applies perfectly to her. She always makes a special effort to help all of her students and is the first to lend her books out and doesn't get mad if it takes awhile to return them.

These ladies are just 2 examples of the kindness we have on the IRHS staff!!

Thank you!

     The IRHS Kindness Duck award winners for this week are:

• A QUACK to all the students who ride their bike to school.  Mother Earth, Polar Bears, and Future Generations are grateful. Thank you from Ms. Theodore and Club Green.

• Josh Baca- for making everyone around him happy and being a hard working student
• Amanda Bradley and Rachel Kester - for positive attitudes, leadership, and responsibility as co-captains of the swim team.
• Josh Davis - for being one of the nicest guys on campus

Remember Nighthawks -- No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
