Pep Club
The Pep Club is joining hands with the IMS PTO in celebrating St. Patrick's Day this year! As a mini fundraiser, the IMS PTO is selling shamrocks from February 28 through March 15. In keeping with our positivity campaign, for $1.00 each, students can purchase shamrocks during lunch and recess and then, if they choose, can write a "positive" message on it. The shamrocks will then be displayed on the halls throughout IMS. Our IMS Pep Club is doing the selling! "Havin' a bit o' fun," the Pep Club will be seen on WIMS throughout the next two weeks promoting the sale!
May the sale be a success...may Irish luck be yours!!
Mrs. Yaro-Linderman and the Pep Club
