How lucky are our ILC Eagles to have such a caring Principal like Mr. Platis!

Mr. Platis has been visiting classrooms for special Read Alouds! A perfect opportunity for students and our principal to get to know one another. Not only did they enjoy a wonderful story by Coach John Wooden, but the time together also created meaningful connections.
