Orchestra Concert on THURSDAY, March 9th
Please help make this night special by donating 3 dozen finger-type treats.  Treats can be homemade or store bought...whichever fits your schedule the best.  You or your child can drop it off in the office the morning of the concert or simply bring it with you the night of the concert.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Organization is coming to IMS on March 14th!!
The wildly successful Backpack Bootcamp is back again!

The PTSA is running the next edition of Binder Bootcamp, an ongoing initiative to support students who are struggling with organization.  Lack of organization can lead to missed homework, misplaced completed homework and general angst! 

Parent volunteers will work one-to-one with students who are referred by teachers, counselors and parents. We will provide a brief training and all the supplies needed to help students organize their binder. 

 The number of students we are able to help depends upon the number of parent volunteers.  Please consider helping with this worthwhile (and fun) activity and feel free to sign up for multiple shifts if you are able to give an entire morning or afternoon. Please sign up by Monday, March 13 to allow time to allocate and schedule students to be helped based on our volunteer numbers.
