In late October, our ICS middle school enjoyed some time together outside of the classroom at Boondocks.Three brave chaperones accompanied the students--Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Harmon, and Mr. Hobbs. Students and their teachers participated in fun activities together such as miniature golf, bumper boats, go-karts, laser tag, and arcade games. The event was organized by ICS Middle School Leadership Team. Mrs.Smith, MSLT advisor and middle school English teacher, said that it was a fun night and she thinks everyone had a great time. Her favorite memory was riding the go-karts and challenging two students and Mr.Hobbs in a race.

Mr.Hobbs, middle and school social studies teacher at ICS, said that he had a lot of fun hanging out with his middle school students. His favorite activity at Boondocks was miniature golf and challenging some of his 8th graders in a game of laser tag. Mr. Hobbs claims he won the game but the 8th graders believe otherwise. He remarked, “Playing against a few of my students in mini golf was so fun. I enjoyed being competitive with them and, of course, winning.”

Middle School Leadership Team (MSLT) is the student government arm of Middle School. With the purpose of developing biblical leadership qualities among the student body, MSLT helps plan social activities, like an outing to Boondocks, and service projects.
