Lily Sandon is our Female Athlete of the Week! Coaches are proud of Lily and say “Lily is a dedicated young lady. She had one of the top attendance over summer weights. She would get up and walk 3 miles each day for the morning conditioning. Her season was cut short due to a broken arm in the first week of the season. This did not stop her from being a part of the team. She showed everyday and helped out anywhere she was needed and wanted to be around the game of football to learn more.”
Lily, we are proud of you! #TheBulldogWay
Our Male Athlete of the Week is Noah Edington! Coaches say “Noah is a hard working young man that gives it his all each week. He has performed at amazing levels in all aspects of the game of football. Noah is very respectful and is very coachable. I'm looking forward to seeing great things from him.”
Keep up the good work! We are proud of you! #TheBulldogWay

IMS students wore pink today to bring awareness to bullying prevention. Here's why we wear pink:
In 2007, two 12th-grade students and a few friends saw that a 9th-grade student was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. They knew they had to do something to show that this kind of behavior was not okay. They purchased pink shirts, handed them out to other students to wear, and by the end of the week most students in the school were wearing pink shirts to show support for the student who was bullied. Pink Shirt Day has now spread and become a symbol of anti-bullying around the world. #TheBulldogWay
Congrats to our Student of the Month, Miguel Francisco!! Also, congrats to the rest of the students of the month from other USD 446 schools! #TheBulldogWay
