🏆 FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK — CHARLY DAILY! 🏆
Congratulations to Charly Daily on being named our Female Athlete of the Week! 🧡🖤
Charly has been 100% committed to summer workouts, showing up every day and giving her best. But what makes her stand out goes beyond the work she puts in.
Charly genuinely cares about her teammates, encourages those around her, and brings a positive attitude every day. She is also incredibly coachable, always willing to listen, learn, and do whatever it takes to get better.
Hard work, selflessness, and a willingness to learn — that’s The Bulldog Way. 🐾
We are proud of you, Charly! Keep being the great teammate and athlete that you are! 👏

’Twas the day before school, and all through IMS,
The teachers were ready… well, mostly, I guess.
The classrooms were set and the hallways looked bright,
The MacBooks were charging and lockers shut tight.
The schedules were printed, the lessons prepared,
With hope that the students would actually care.
The Bulldogs were ready, the staff feeling strong,
Because after a summer, it’s time to belong.
Tomorrow the hallways will come back alive,
With sixth graders wondering where Room 105 hides.
Seventh graders catching up, stories to tell,
And eighth graders acting like they know IMS well.
There’ll be laughter and learning, some nerves here and there,
A missing pencil before we even get to first hour somewhere.
There’ll be “What’s my password?” and “Where do I go?”
And at least one student saying, “My schedule says NO!”
But through all the chaos, one thing will be clear:
There’s something pretty special about starting a year.
New chances, new goals, new memories begun,
And a reminder to all that WE ARE ONE.
So Bulldogs, get ready—it’s finally here,
A brand-new beginning, a brand-new school year.
Get some sleep tonight, because tomorrow’s the call…
Happy First Day to IMS—
and GO BULLDOGS, one and all! 🧡🖤🐾

WE ARE ONE. 🧡🖤
This year at IMS, We Are One is more than a theme. It represents the kind of school we want to be.
A school where every voice matters—especially our students’. We want our students to know that this is their school too. Their ideas matter. Their leadership matters. Their choices matter. And they play a huge role in creating the culture of IMS.
It also means building strong relationships between our students, staff, families, and community. We put people first, communicate, support one another, celebrate together, and work toward the same goal: helping every student succeed.
It will take ALL of us.
