October ROAR Outreach
WhereDidThisCandyComeFrom.com. Do you have a busy neighborhood that you hand out candy in or a fall festival that you donate candy to in the month of October? Direct people to the IA website by stickering all of your giveaway candy with this website! Simply drop off your candy to the IA front desk and we will sticker it for you OR pick up the stickers and label them yourself. If handing out candy isn't for you, we love donated bags of candy and will help them find a great place to tell others about IA. Spread the news with CANDY during the month of October!
October ROAR Vlog Prompt
We want to hear from you! This month we want to know what you love about IA. In 1:30 minutes or less record yourself telling the world what you love about IA then email it to

Save The Backs!
God has blessed IA with growth this year and with this growth we have stretched to provide some additional facilities sooner that originally planned. Included in this was the expansion of our Arts program, which substantially increases the creative opportunities our students have. We are very excited with the results! With funds directed at this need, that meant that another had to wait until additional funds could be raised. We had planned on purchasing lockers for each of our students and with your help we can still support our students in this way. For only $14,000, roughly $107 per student, all of our students would have a safe place to store their personal belongings, books, and sports equipment rather than carrying it all around with them each day. Can you save a back today?
Inspiration Academy is a non-profit organization, and all donations are tax deductible.

Students At IA Get Creative!
Mr. Negal's art classes are exploring their creative side with still-life drawings and roller coaster sculptures!
Students drew for 2-3 weeks, using graphite (pencils), kneaded and hard erasers, trying to show what they can do from an observational and representational manner while looking at the still life.
|
|
Seventh grade students made roller coasters with colored construction paper and various supplies. They created carts with cut-out pictures of themselves in the cart as if they are riding the roller coasters. The purpose was to signify that life is like a roller coaster of emotions, good and bad times etc. We cannot always be at a pivotal moment in time, nor should we always be in “slump.”

Baseball Academy
Baseball Meet & Greet Recap
Huge thank you to everyone who came out to our second annual Meet and Greet. It was great to get everyone together, to hear about new baseball processes and to enjoy some delicious food. A quick recap, Coach Mario and staff are highlighting accountability this year and teamwork. The new baseball app Rapsodo allows parents to keep up with how their child is doing daily. We have 4 coaches working on baseball recruiting for college. The Booster Club highlighted some areas we could use help with - getting banners from businesses and baskets for Monte Carlo night. As the season progresses, help with the concession stand, running the scoreboard and calling games will be needed. We are successful because of all the support from our awesome parents. Thank you!
Homecoming Game
The Homecoming Game is October 26th. It is during the day and so much fun. We could use some parent volunteers to call the game, take pictures and help with the festivities. Come out and enjoy our boys playing in costume!
