Pep Club
The Pep Club proudly announces that their Christmas Paper Candy Slip Sale was quite a success! From December 6 through December 13, members of the Pep Club sold candy slips during the lunch and recess periods. Because of the generosity of our Middle School students, we raised $65; the proceeds of our sale are being donated to the St. Augustine Center. St. Augustine's provides daily meals for those in need; hence, any donation is deeply appreciated by their staff!. A drawing was held on Wednesday, January 19. One student per grade level received a delightful gift bag. Winners are: Fifth Grade, Nicole Mehosky; Sixth Grade, Nicholas Spencer; Seventh Grade, Grace Deir; Eighth Grade, Lucy Spencer. Special thanks are extended to all those who supported our annual Christmas sale. Once again, IMS proved that the true spirit of Christmas is in giving rather than receiving, and that's the spirit we carry throughout the year!
Thank You!
Mrs. Yaro-Linderman and the IMS Pep Club

Special Google Visitor
Fifth graders in Mrs. Vincz's class had a Google Meet with Brian Morris, an architect in Georgia who specializes in building tiny houses. The class spent the last few weeks reading My Side of the Mountain and selections from Walden, by Henry David Thoreau, to learn about living simply, being self-reliant, and connecting to nature. The tiny house movement embodies these ideals in modern society. Students will design and build models of their own tiny houses, as well as write about their three favorite features in an essay. Finally, all the tiny, tiny homes will be put on display for an end-of-unit gala!

CIPD Chief Butler Co-Hosts
WIMS Morning Announcements
Independence Middle School’s WIMS Morning Announcement Show had a guest co-host during their January 19 show. City of Independence Police Chief Robert Butler joined the broadcasting crew for a fun, upbeat show. The students were excited to work with Officer Butler and he was equally looking forward to the opportunity since he, too, was part of a broadcasting club when he was in school.
