What a Monster of a Month!

Wow, IMS! What a month! October was packed with school spirit, community fun, and more than 65 parent volunteers showing up to make it all happen!

From lunchtime surprises and student celebrations to staff appreciation and one MONSTER of a Bingo night, our IMS community was on a roll!

Our Monster Mash Bingo night, a collaboration between PTSA and ASB, with a whole lot of help from National Junior Honor Society and parent and staff volunteers, was a wonderful example of what makes our school community special. This is the magic, folks! Parents, teachers, and students coming together, turning ideas into action, and building community along the way.

Let's Talk IMS! Snacks, Scoop & School Spirit

Join us for our PTSA General Membership Meeting on Wednesday, November 18, from 6–8 PM in the IMS Library!

Meet other IMS parents, swap ideas, enjoy some snacks, and get the inside scoop on what's happening at school. Principal JZ will share a school update and answer your questions. After October's whirlwind, we're catching our breath and dreaming up what's next, including Winterfest cocoa, the 8th Grade Dance, and more!

Whether you have a big idea, a burning question, or just want to connect, there's a seat for you. Come be part of the fun!

WalkAbout Is Growing!

Want an inside peek at middle school life? Join our growing WalkAbout crew! A friendly adult presence in the student commons brings magical calm to students and big smiles from staff.

Next WalkAbout Orientation: Friday, November 13 @ 11:10 AM, following Java with JZ. Friday the 13th is your lucky day! Get the inside scoop at Java with JZ, then stay for WalkAbout training. Double your good luck!

Help Bring the Fun to Life!

We have a few leadership spots we'd love to fill:

• Director of Volunteers: Organize signups and thank-yous. No, you don't have to fill every shift yourself!

• Daytime Programs Coordinator: Help bring monthly lunchtime fun and school spirit.

• Advocacy Chair: Keep families informed about school district news and education issues.
