Board/Strategy Games Needed

Our Connections program is looking to build a collection of board/strategy games for the school. We feel the students would enjoy and benefit from old-fashioned face-to-face interactive gameplay. If you have any games that you are no longer using at home such as checkers, chess, Battleship, etc., please consider donating them to IMS.

Attention IMS Families! We are "SOUP-ER" Lucky to have our IMS Staff! To show the staff how much we appreciate them, we would like to provide a Soup and Salad Luncheon on Monday, April 6. Please consider donating a food item or paper products to this luncheon as a way to show your thanks to the staff who take such great care of our kids daily.

America Saves Week

The IMS FCS Department has been celebrating “America Saves Week”. Students have been encouraged to participate in daily challenges about savings.
