The staff celebrated VP, Lauren Brown, as she heads into maternity leave. Lauren & her family are welcoming their second child who is due to arrive in September. We can't wait to meet her little Otter!
Happy Birthday, Ike Montañez. The IME Otters hope you have a very special day surrounded by family and loved ones.
Dr. Eaton is no stranger to IME, but Mrs. Jones' TK class got to spend time talking to our superintendent during dismissal. It sounded like the TK students were educating him on all things TK! Thank you, Dr. Eaton, for your ongoing support at IME.
Happenings around IME week 2 - Computer class with Mrs. DeRita is under way. Students in 2nd & 5th grade gather in the breezeway to talk about building trust. Wednesday was Back to School night & the MPR was open for the first time. Busy week but so many smiles.
First Back to School Night at IME was a success! A big thank you to all of the parents & families who joined us this evening to learn more about IME and your child's class. We are looking forward to working as a team to support your children.

Wrapping up the day 2 morning assembly, vice principal, Lauren, Brown got students laughing & moving as they got to round 5 of Lean Forward, Lean Backwards. The belly laughs from students made every IME staff member smile! What a great start to the day.
The first day of school finally arrived & what joy it was to hear laughter throughout the hallways. Students were all smiles as they learned to navigate their new school & made new friends. I am sure they were exhausted by the end of day, but we are excited for day 2 tomorrow.
Thirty-eight 4th & 5th grade students filled the halls today at IME. These volunteers stepped up to welcome IME families to campus on Monday during Otter Orientation. There were a lot of laughs & smiles as they made new friends & prepared for their role as guides.
