Meet Us Monday: Mrs. Ruth Stone, Manager of Operations

Mrs. Ruth Stone brings a friendly smile and cheerful disposition as she adeptly handles so many of the day-to-day responsibilities of running a school as our ILS Manager of Operations! Often one of the first people visitors to ILS meet or speak to, Mrs. Stone is a welcoming presence to guests and ILS families alike. We hope you enjoy learning a bit more about her as she answers our 10 questions.

As we near the end of our "Meet Us Mondays" series for this year, we hope you have enjoyed this feature as a small way to better get to know the many outstanding members of our faculty.
