Eighth-Grade All-Pro Parent Breakfast

All eighth-grade parents and students are invited to an All-Pro Parent Breakfast in the IMS cafeteria on Friday, December 20th, from 7:15 to 7:40 a.m. The All-Pro Breakfast includes a message for both parent and child to take away. Our wonderful PTO provides this event for all.

Key Club: Blankets for Blue Devils

Are you dreading the cold winter chill coming our way? Do you love being warm and toasty when it's cold outside and enjoy some blue devil spirit wear? Well, Key Club can help with our "Blankets for Blue Devils" sale. Blankets are on sale for $30 and would be a great idea for a Christmas gift for your favorite Blue Devil fan.

All orders can be sent to the office (Attn: Jen Mackey).

If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to direct them to either myself or Scott Maretka. We appreciate your support and hope that the families in your building will like the blankets and purchase some! (they are super soft and cuddly and would make a great christmas gift!)

Thanks so much for your support!

Gamer Squad

The IMS Gamer Squad just concluded their Super Smash Brothers Ultimate tournament. Students came in during their lunch, recess, and intervention to face off against classmates from all grades. Thank you to all who participated! We even had Independence Police Officer Belin join in on the fun. In the end, it came down to Officer Belin versus 7th grader Andriy Tsirkot. It was best two out of three, and Officer Belin took the first round. Andriy didn’t give up, he locked in and won the second round. It all came down to the final standoff. They were neck and neck but in the end, Andriy took home the victory! Congratulations Andriy! 

Lost and Found

Please take a look at these photos to see if your child has misplaced anything. During the upcoming winter break, we will donate anything left behind. So, in the weeks to come, please have your son or daughter walk by the table to see if any of their items were left behind. Thank you!
