January 5, 2022
Faculty, Staff, Students and Friends,
Our school community is grieving today over the loss of a beloved paraprofessional and friend, Marissa Purvis. Marissa gained her heavenly wings this morning. Students, staff, family and friends will miss her greatly, as she was a bright spot in our school system.
Please join me in prayer for her family. May we keep Jed, Jesten, and Maylin in our prayers. We also extend condolences and prayers for extended family members and close friends.
Lord give us wisdom to minister unto these with love and caring. May those remaining feel Your love and Grace.
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”
Revelation 14:13 KJV
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen
Thad


Happy New Year! #NewYearsEve2022

Irwin County 4-H Jr/Sr Club Meeting for January 2022
Community Service for this meeting will be a Canned Food Drive.


The Irwin County Middle School Y Club has been very busy this month spreading Christmas cheer. They have teamed up with Toys for Tots to collect toys for children that are less fortunate. They have also decorated Christmas ornaments to be given to the local nursing home. These young people truly have the spirit of giving. Merry Christmas from ICMS Y Club.



UPDATE: The (P-EBT) issuance schedule that was set for delivery in the state of Georgia has been met. Childcare benefits have been released and teams have also finalized processing benefits for K-12 students statewide.
This means that eligible students who are also SNAP (formerly food stamp) recipients will have P-EBT benefits automatically loaded to their cards before the Christmas holiday.
***Non-SNAP student recipients should allow an additional three to four weeks for a P-EBT card to be mailed to the address listed on file with their local school during the 2020-2021 term. Please allow through January 15, 2022, for card delivery prior to submitting an inquiry.
