Bismillah Cafe, the restaurant from which we purchase the Wednesday sandwich lunches, will be closed on January 21 and 28 due to the owners going to Umrah. No one else will be manning the restaurant and therefore we were forced to cancel lunches for those two days. The PTA has refunded your lunch money for those two days via orderlunches.com and you can use that credit to purchase lunches for February onward. More info on purchasing February lunches will be given next week. 

We have some additional spirit shirts (the royal blue shirts the students wear for PE class and field trips) for sale. The sizes and quantities of those sizes that we have available are:

• 5 XS youth t-shirts
• 5 L youth t-shirts
• 2 S youth tunics
• 1 M youth tunic
• 1 L youth tunic

We have opened Priority Admissions for 2015-2016. All current families must reapply for their students if they wish for them to continue at ILM Academy next year. This is the only way to ensure your student's spot is reserved for next year as we are anticipating waiting lists for almost all grades. Click the below button to re-apply now.

Please also inform anyone you know who is interested in applying for their child for 2015-2016. The application process this year will be online via TADS and you will pay the fee online as well. The application fee this year will be $65/student for the first 3 students you are applying for in your family. Thereafter, the fee will be waived for your fourth or more children.

The Chuck-e-Cheese will be donating 15% of profits generated from ILM Academy families and friends on that evening to our school! Also, all of our students will receive stickers with 10 free tokens. 

Please come enjoy an evening with your family at Chuck-e-Cheese on Friday, January 23. Feel free to invite other families/friends who don't even attend ILM Academy. The more people who participate, the more we can fundraise!
