Our incredible art team joined many families and the Lincoln-Way feeders at Lincoln-Way's annual ArtWorks on Saturday. In addition to featuring the proud work of their students, they hosted a workshop for families there, too. We're grateful for the time and talents they put not only into ArtWorks but the art experiences of all of our MSD114 students!

A group of students at MIS has been hard at work the last few weeks wrapping up their Genius Hour passion projects! These students took on this extra responsibility, using their independent work time to research a topic of their choice and then create a final product to showcase their learning. Given the opportunity to dive into what interests them, students investigated topics like the periodic table, music history, dwarf planets, sports, and more! Their projects have been just as varied and just as amazing, ranging from game shows to animated videos to scavenger hunts to 3D models. They all did a great job and were so proud to show off their work!

MIS Student Council members wanted to send their classmates into IAR with some test-taking tips, and what better way to deliver positivity than with a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air parody!
