Thank you for sharing your experiences in theater with these students!! 💚🖤

BIOCUBES @ THE L.L.
The Honors Biology classes placed their "Biocubes" out today.
They recorded some initial data and will continue to check their cubes monthly throughout the school year.
We will keep you in the loop throughout the process.
It’s the last day of 7th grade computer class for these students. They have been working in the WIMS newsroom throughout the quarter learning basic production skills. Next year they will have the opportunity to join WIMS where they can run our morning news production!
Asian fusion lunch day at the high school.
THE 2023 ANNUAL SHED HUNT!
During the winter months, the deer start shedding their antlers.
We always like to search the Land Lab for sheds! Although we didn't find a shed this year, we had a good time hiking with friends, followed with cocoa & cookies.
Maybe next year! :)
IHS Junior Class recently hosted a successful babysitting night at the Civic Center.

The Junior Biology Society learned lab procedures for growing bacteria samples on agar agar. The young scientists went on a mission around the school to swab surfaces that they thought might harbor bacteria. They then rubbed the sample swab on agar in a Petri dish. At their next meeting, they will view their bacteria cultures under microscopes.
Our IMS Builders Club was featured this morning on PBS NewsDepth for our work with Hurricane Ian! Michael Edelman met with our crew before Christmas to meet and interview the students. #iPride

Great experience for all!
Students of IMS participated in a Rachel’s Challenge assembly today. Students had the opportunity to volunteer to participate in an extended activity where they worked on ways to make IMS a place that will demonstrate the benefits of kindness, empathy, and compassion.
Special thanks to our School Resource Officers and the City of Independence Police Department for all you do to keep our schools safe. #iPride
