More than 100 students participated in the first-ever ILC Putt-Putt Challenge during National Library Week. Seven student teams designed and constructed book-themed putt-putt holes for the student body to enjoy; four of the holes were related to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, thanks to Mr. Plinske's AP Language students. After completing the course, students voted for their favorite. The winning team was Ashley Alm and Sav Garrett, who built a complex Dr. Seuss-themed hole. They each won a gift card to America's Action Territory.
