(excerpt from CASEL). Stacy will guide us through an interactive presentation on how we as parents can understand and apply the knowledge of SEL. into our own lives, better enabling us to help our children develop the best skills to navigate this ever changing world.

IHMS Annual Toy Drive - Continues!

Every year, the Iron Horse community collects toys for all students at our sister school at Riverside Elementary.
Leadership will be collecting new, unopened toys from December 2 through December 13th.
Leadership students will be coming in to collect toys each day at the beginning of 7th period. Students can also drop toys off in Mrs. Stevens' room (PT-11) each morning between 7:45-8:15 if it is easier for them. Please be sure any toys dropped off in PT-11 are labelled with your 7th period teacher's name (on a sticky note) as this toy drive will be a competition between 7th period classes. The winning classes in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will each receive special treats.
Each grade level has been assigned a specific age group to shop for. Grade level assignments are:
6th grade: ages 5-7
7th grade: ages 8-10
8th grade: ages 11 and up
All gifts (MUST BE NEW AND UNWRAPPED) are welcome but possible suggested gifts are toys, sports apparel for Bay Area teams, sports equipment/games, arts & craft kits/supplies, board games, anything Star Wars/Disney, etc. Please donate if you can!
