Clear out your junk drawers and the old toys you no longer need! Support our Physical Science and Intro to Ag Classes as IWHS is hosting our first in-school Rube Goldberg Contest! We are looking for any odds and ends, materials, and toys you have lying around!
What is a Rube Goldberg Machine? It is a machine that makes use of a series of transfers of energy, simple machines, and chain reactions to complete a simple task. This year's task is "Open a Box." Students are encouraged to be as creative as possible in their machine's design and in the final task.
We will have 2 collection drives to gather materials: November 24th from 4-6 P.M. and December 1st from 4-7P.M.
Thank you for supporting our students!

Iroquois West had 10 student musicians representing today in the D3 Junior Chorus (7th/8th grade) and D3 Senior Chorus (high school). The students were selected based on vocal auditions out of pools of over 600 students combined.
Middle School singers were Shelby Chamness, Sydney Haase, Corbin Rosenboom, Samantha Smith, and Piper Tippie.
High School singers were Wesley Connor, Alia DeVous, Addison Dietz, Paige Miller, and Bryce Rogers.
Thank you to everyone who helps pull this event together - it’s a great day of music making these kids will reflect on forever!

Our FFA meeting was packed with energy, laughter, and teamwork from start to finish! Members kicked things off with a traditional meeting that got everyone talking and connecting. We dove into some dodgeball that showcased our fun and competitive side. Whether it was group challenges, planning upcoming events, or celebrating member of the month, everyone brought great spirit and enthusiasm. By the end of the meeting, we announced Ayla Nichols as member of the month. Our next chapter meeting will be December 22, so plan to attend and don’t forget your Christmas cheer!
