A heartfelt thank you to @nolteacademy for hosting an amazing week of ballet for all 2nd graders in the ICCSD! Our young students were captivated by your outstanding dancers as they brought the storybook ballet Penny and the Wolf to life @thejamestheater! 🎭

Because of the Any Given Child fine arts program, ALL children in the ICCSD have opportunities to experience the magic of the arts! In preparation for the performance, students learned in music class about the instruments they would hear and how each instrument represents a different animal in the ballet. What a wonderful way to connect music, storytelling, and dance!

Thank you to @nolteacademy and @thejamestheater for partnering with us to make this memorable experience possible for our ICCSD students! 🩰✨ by @iccsdfoundation

We're still smiling about our recent Any Given Child third-grade field trip to the @stanleymuseumofart! 🎨✨The smiles, wonder and curiosity on the faces of @shimek_sharks third graders are enough to brighten anyone's day!

A huge thank-you to @nicoletbank for serving as our Title Sponsor and making this incredible experience possible for ALL third-grade students in the Iowa City Community School District! 💚

Experiences like these spark creativity, inspire curiosity, and create lasting memories. Thank you for helping make art accessible to every student! And, a special thank you to the amazing docents who led our tours! We're so grateful for the time, care and brilliance they shared with our third graders! 🖼️💫 by @iccsdfoundation

🌟 Little Ideas. Big Student Impact!

The Foundation for the Iowa City Community School District is pleased to announce that $66,785 in Little Idea Hunt grants have been awarded to 138 classroom projects across the ICCSD! Grants were awarded to every school in the district! 🎉

The Little Idea Hunt supports our educators and helps bring their ideas to life across all areas of the curriculum. This year’s grants will fund everything from materials to support a new bicycling unit at our middle schools and learning-through-play opportunities for preschoolers to new musical instruments, books, hands-on science learning and so much more.

The Little Idea Hunt gives teachers and principals the opportunity to turn their ideas into meaningful, engaging learning experiences for students. We believe the ICCSD has the best educators, and we’re proud to help make their ideas a reality! 💙

Thank you to the donors, businesses, and community members who support the Foundation for the Iowa City Community School District and make the Little Idea Hunt possible including @cordacreditunion for their $7000 gift in support of Teacher Tuesday.

We can’t wait to see what these 138 projects make possible! 🚀 by @iccsdfoundation
