So excited to host today's first "All-Pro Parent Breakfast" of the year! This breakfast was for the 5th grade families. Every grade level will have several opportunities throughout the year to enjoy breakfast, bonding time, and an inspirational message 💙💛
Special shout outs to Mr. Hegedish and Mr. DeAngelis for their presentation, and to IMS PTO parents Kelley Deir and Jaime Grassian for setting up this amazing spread 🎉
Mrs. Obravec's drama club is getting into character for this year's IMS musical: Xanadu Jr! 🤩
Mark your calendars for Nov. 17-18 at 7pm to see these 54 amazing 5-8th graders bring Olivia Newton-John's beloved movie to the IMS stage 🎬
Xanadu Jr. follows the journey of Kira and her "muse sisters 9" in 1980s Venice, California as they weave their magic to help struggling artist, Sonny Malone, create the perfect artistic creation - the first Roller Disco, Xanadu! 🛼
Hope you've all had a nice long weekend! Here's a look at the week ahead from the IMS News Update:

Huge thanks to the IMS PTO for sponsoring Kona Ice for the school today!
