Walkabout Thank You's
This year Walkabout volunteers have walked 1751 shifts at IMS. That is nearly two thousand opportunities to have a positive interaction in our school, to help a kid with a stuck locker, to deescalate tension, to elevate good feelings. Walkabout volunteers are a huge part of the positive, inclusive community at IMS and play a critical role in keeping our hallways safe and sane. We are so grateful to work with so many amazing volunteers, who time and again have carved time out of their days to be a part of it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
JKristen and Kerri
Thank you May Volunteers!!
