Holbrook Unified School District #3 - Helping Unique Students Develop

Team IWES Roadrunners raised $627, surpassing the goal of $500 for "The Climb to Conquer Cancer of Flagstaff"! IWES sported a team of 10 educators, including 6 current staff members, former IWE teacher Ms. Jenny Smith, former Roadrunners Ashley and Sara Speers, and Hulet teacher, Ms. Saraphania Benally! The Climb to Conquer Cancer of Flagstaff event is the American Cancer Society’s largest single day climb event in the world. People of all ages hike, run, walk, wheelchair and even push their babies in strollers up Snow Bowl. Whether it’s a cardio workout to the top of the mountain, a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll, ascending this Arizona peak generates fun, entertainment and most importantly, funds the fight to end cancer. Together with our sponsors, we tackle this mountain, rally every community, and relentlessly continue in the fight against cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer." Way to go IWES Roadrunners- doing it The Roadrunner Way!

Teachers have prepared ITM lesson boxes for each student. These boxes contain all the materials needed for the instructional activities. We will distribute the ITM lessons via the bus system on Monday afternoon. Please watch for the delivery schedule to ensure you receive the box. I will send a schedule out on Monday morning with specific times and locations. Please look out for the bus route schedule and have your child ready to receive their ITM lesson box. The boxes will be delivered to a designated bus stop. If you miss or cannot make the delivery location, please let us know, and we will arrange an alternative way for you to pick it up.
