His dedication both in school and in activities makes him a true role model for his peers and an asset to our school community. Congrats Ames!!! #TheBulldogWay

Our Teacher of the Month is Tina Hannah. Tina is fantastic at working with students in the Reading Lab and helping them get closer to grade level. At the beginning of the year, she is an absolute rock star with all the testing and data to help us get going with Blended Learning and to get her Reading Lab groups set. She spends countless hours setting up data tracking sheets for every Blended Learning teacher and helps everyone know what reading program students use. She is amazing at data tracking, as students make progress when receiving Title services, and is constantly updating schedules each quarter due to student schedule changes. Tina is always willing to help troubleshoot issues in the Blended Learning programs and offer advice so we can best help our students. She has great prizes for students to choose from in the Blended Learning store, which keeps kids motivated to work in Reading Plus/Power Up and IXL. Tina has a love for reading, and that shines through her actions here at IMS. Tina and her staff are the best! Thank you for all you do for our students, Mrs. Hannah!!! #TheBulldogWay
