Friends & families when dropping off & picking up students, please remember to drive slow through the parking lot. Look for kids & adults crossing the street & follow traffic signs. A few extra minutes make all the difference in the world to the safety of our school community.

It is not uncommon to see students showing acts of kindness at IME, but Ms. Barnard's whole class has been the model of kindness. They consistently supported a classmate who broke her arm. The true beauty- they are kind & helpful all on their own . They are silly & sweet!
It isn't everyday that we see SRO Bollinger teaching students how to do push-ups with perfect form. Elbows back & in is easier said than done, but these 2 outdid Principal Daubin's one push-up! Way to go gentlemen!

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.
