Eagle Update - 3/18/2025
Greetings Families and Friends,
We are now in the last quarter of the academic year, and we are going to finish strong! The middle of March brings a full range of weather to Utah. It may be a sunny 70 degrees one minute or snowing or raining the next. And that’s just during one recess block. We love to have kids go out for all recesses, weather permitting, so please plan for the kids to have their jackets, etc. daily.
This week is Spirit Week sponsored by our Student Government (see the flyer below for the details,) and additionally we have a lot going on after school as well with a parent night “Tools for the Toolkit”, Dine-out Night to support the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and our First-Grade Performance.

Another incredible week here at IHE. Between the snow, blood moon, and a beautiful snowy morning, we also had the incredible operas from the ELP classes that were just chalk full of creativity and artistic expression. I am so proud of those students for their collaboration and work ethic in creating those productions. Another shameless plug for our second meet up in the Tools for the Toolkit series here. If you RSVP we will purchase you a (hardback) copy of the book “The Anxious Generation” that we'll be discussing.
- Kindergarten – Making Faces: Describe examples of people, places and things that make us feel said emotions.
- 1st Grade – The Feel Wheel: "Understand how different situations make us feel different ways. Recognize that the same situation makes different people feel different ways.
- 2nd Grade – Emogometer: "Recognize that emotions vary in intensity. Recognize and label the intensity of an emotion we are experiencing. Describe what causes our basic emotions."
- 3rd Grade – Group Ku: Identify and describe different ways we can contribute to our community, both as an individual and as a group.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! And best of luck to all of us filling out our brackets. March Madness has begun!
Sincerely,
Tom Luthy
