Oh, the places they will go! Congrats, IHS Class of 2024! #iPride

The 6th and 2nd graders had a wonderful afternoon together at Elmwood Park today to celebrate new friends and all their hard work. 6th-grade parents donated snacks and treats and helped pass out all the goodies while the teachers hosted multiple stations of music and dancing, chalk, field games and time at the park.

So proud of our IMS Music Department! 💙💛 Our 7th/8th grade choir made history a few weeks ago by being the first IMS choir ever to compete in the OMEA Large Group Contest, and earned Excellent and Superior ratings! 🎶 And yesterday our 7th/8th grade band performed at Cedar Point's Music in the Park and took 2nd place! 🎺🥁 Kudos to Gretchen Obrovac and Michael Greene for all you continue to do for our kids and music education in the district!! 👏🏼💙💛


Our 7th graders had an amazing trip to Dearborn, Michigan today! The day started with a tour of the Ford Rouge Factory, where the students got to witness the active assembly lines making Ford F-150’s ⚙️ Then they went to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, an immersive town and marketplace filled with functioning Model-T’s and artisans plying the trades of Henry Ford’s time.
Huge thanks to the architect of the trip, Dana Yaro-Linderman, and all of our wonderful chaperones! 💙💛 And to the IMS PTO for supplying water and snacks for the trip!

We're so excited to welcome current 4th grade parents to IMS this evening! 💙💛 Reminder that our event runs from 5:45pm to 6:45pm, which will provide you a forum to ask questions and interact with the building and staff.
We look forward to working with you and your children over the next four years! If you have any questions, please get in touch with Mr. Vanek or Mrs. McClain at 216-642-5865 or through email at jvanek@independence.k12.oh.us or lmcclain@independence.k12.oh.us.

The 5th grade solar pizza ovens are open for business! 🍕 Can't wait to see how everything turns out 💙💛






Good luck to our IMS 7th-grade Power of the Pen writers (Nicole Mehosky, Marian Carlisle, and Sehajveer Rai), who have qualified for the state competition at Ashland University today!
