Disciple Dispatch

September 5, 2025

Our 8th grade students attended an all day leadership retreat. We are so blessed and grateful to have such great role models to lead our younger students.

IHM Principal's Tailgate is TONIGHT!

***Please read the following expectations for those attendig the football game***

No Drop-off Before 7:40 am

Please do NOT drop your student(s) off before the doors open at 7:40 am. There is no adult supervision before then and children waiting alone outside the doors is a saftey concern.

Give Us a Heads Up!

If there is ANYTHING going on at home, such as a parent going out of town, a pet’s death, new baby, houseguests, etc., your child's teachers would really appreciate knowing about it. These things almost always affect your child’s feelings and behaviors. If they are aware, they can better help your child cope with time spent at school.

News From IHM Athletics

Registration for Winter I sports is now open and will close on September 31st. CLICK HERE to get signed up. Students may only participate in one sport per season.

We are in need of volunteers for home volleyball games. There are many roles to fill in order for us to host these games. This is what helps us keep our program participation FREE for all athletes.

Please bring your flowers Monday morning and leave them through week's end. You may bring your own vase or bring your flowers to the office to use a school vase.

Thank you for your prayerful consideration of this opportunity to honor Our Lady and patron!

From the Principal's Desk

Hello IHM Families!

And just like that it's FALL, right? The tailgate tonight at Catholic Central is going to be a chilly one!

We have really had a great start to our school year!

A special Thank You needs to go out to our Home and School Association! They did popsicles at the playground during Meet and Greet and now they are putting together this tailgate tonight and they also found time to do a newsletter! Home and School pays for all our field trips and transportation, among other things. We are SO grateful for all they do behind the scenes! There is no auction this year, as they do that every other year to fund their budget, but there will be an online raffle opportunity to support Home and School later this fall. Thank you Home and School!

Have a great weekend!

Blessings,

Mrs. Holly Lake
