Third graders in Ida Grove had a chance to try the Engineering Design Process by designing small boats from a small square of tin foil. After testing to see how many pennies each boat would hold, teams were able to redesign one final boat. Many teams had boats that held more than 50 pennies before sinking.
Ida Grove Elementary Falcons of the Week 💜
Paisley, Clara, and Weston Wittrock held a snack and lemonade stand outside of Drey Digital this summer. They donated their proceeds to the OABCIG Elementary in Ida Grove for library books. The children made suggestions for new titles and approval was made by Mrs. Mary Rohlk, District Librarian. Bryce and Ashley are the parents of these young entrepreneurs. The school greatly appreciates their generous donation!
The Ida Grove 3rd graders had a fun day celebrating "3's Day" today. Day 3 of third grade.

OABCIG Ida Grove Elementary Presidential Awards
The 2024 Presidential Academic Awards were given out at Awards Day, Thursday morning, May 23, at the OABCIG Ida Grove Elementary Gymnasium. There are two types of Presidential Awards. The Award for Educational Excellence is based on performance on math and/or reading on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) and grade point average. The Award for Educational Achievement is awarded to students who display outstanding educational improvement, commitment or intellectual development in their academic subjects, but does not meet the Excellence criteria. One achievement winner was selected from each 5th grade classroom.
Each award includes a certificate with the signatures of President Joseph Biden, the Secretary of Education, and OABCIG Ida Grove Principal Alan Henderson, and a pin that is sponsored by the OABCIG School District. Recipients included:
