IMS is celebrating Assistant Principals Week by thanking Mr. Thornburg for all he does for IMS!
Congratulations to the IMS golfers, the boys and girls both took 1st place at their home meet! Katelyn Spencer also took 1st place in the girls division, while Ethan Small took 1st and Ethan Messenger took 3rd in the boys division. Great job golfers!
Before Spring Break our new JAG-K program, humbly submitted 5 projects to the Regional Career Development Conference. Mrs. Hoffman told students we never lose we only learn, and we groom winners early. They thought that was kind of silly and doubted her… Well, we recently learned FOUR OF THE FIVE SUBMISSIONS MADE IT TO STATE!! We are SO proud.
Due to IMS program being so new we performed our State Competition pieces via Zoom yesterday.
Please help me wish them all the best of luck as we await our results!

PARA Appreciation Day
IMS is fortunate to have a great team of paraprofessionals working with our students. They work hard in and out of the classroom to support our students and staff each day! If you see a PARA today, give them a high five and thank them for everything they do to support IMS!
IMS was well represented at the FCCLA Kansas State Leadership Conference. Dylan Schnurbusch 6th grade will be representing Kansas at the National Conference this summer in the FCCLA national STAR Event competitions in San Diego California. She received a high goal on her project Level 1 Sports Nutrition event.
Addy Long did a great job as a student peer judge working with the KState FCS Education Director and a community judge evaluating 8 individuals in the Teach/Train Star Event
Sarah Foster provide support to Dylan by being her “graffer ” and moral supporter during competition since I had duties elsewhere. She was available to assist me whenever I needed.
Please give these three girls high fives for representing IMS at the Kansas State Leadership Conference. They did us proud.
IMS Staff would like to thank all of our IMS families for their support and encouragement of our students over the last two weeks of testing. We appreciate your continued support of IMS!

The City of Independence, Director of Finance Lacey Lies visited our JAG-K program today! We learned what all the city does for our community, what kind of education is behind each of those careers & all the different divisions that come together to serve our little town. Having community leaders in our classroom has been great, supporting our students as well as allowing us to show we truly are stronger together. 💪🏼

Day two of ELA testing will be tomorrow for all IMS students!
Today Youth Career Advisor, John Turner came from KansasW⭐️rks to visit with our JAG-K students. We learned about interview etiquette, identified our individual strengths and weaknesses as well as how to work on those weaknesses. We also talked about our “Digital Footprint”. How we can manage our footprint? What is appropriate to share on social media and the kind of impact it can make on our futures.
Thank you to our first responders for cheering on our IMS students as we begin ELA state testing for all students.
