A gallery full of imagination 🎨✨ Students were excited to find their artwork on display at the IMES Art Show. The event celebrated the creativity, talent, and original ideas of every student in the school. One fun highlight was the IMPACT team’s “Laundry Art” display, which transformed Lost & Found items into part of the exhibit and served as a clever reminder to take a second look at items left behind during the school year.

Designing for the future 🏡 JJHS environmental physics students took passive house design from concept to full build, mapping out blueprints, airflow, insulation, and energy systems with real-world purpose. Designs also incorporated accessibility features like ramps, wide doorways, and no-step layouts. High school students presented their projects to 4th graders at Increase Miller and Katonah Elementary, helping connect younger students to sustainability topics through peer-led learning.

Another Successful Sustainability Showcase 🌱🌎

On Tuesday evening, the district celebrated its sustainability progress and goals with student projects, examples of energy savings across the district, and even a tour on board one of the district’s electric buses.

Elementary school Green Teams showed off their efforts and older students shared research projects. These initiatives focused on recycling and waste reduction, protecting wildlife and habitats, and the impact of everyday choices on the environment, along with ecosystem models and builds created from reused materials. Our community partners joined the conversation with displays and a Q&A panel, highlighting conservation efforts, wildlife education, and sustainable practices.
