This week's musician of the week will be Brooklyn Wyrick. She's a 6th grader that plays violin in the beginning orchestra. Brooklyn always comes to class with a positive attitude and a willingness to work hard, even when things get difficult. Because of her hard work, she is gaining a lot of skills on the violin. We are lucky to have her as a part of our music program here at IMS!! #TheBulldogWay

Bailey Henderson is our Female Athlete of the Week!! Her coach says "I nominate Bailey Henderson for the girl athlete of the week. Bailey always has a smile on her face and is ready to listen and learn new things. She did a great job during stunting practice and showed lots of confidence. She demonstrated leadership skills by calling sidelines for the 7th grade squad. The other girls look up to her and watch her because she knows the correct actions for the sideline chants."
Bailey, we appreciate all your hard work! Keep it up! #TheBulldogWay

Johann Barker is our Male Athlete of the Week! Coach says "Johann is a 3 sport athlete for IMS. He participated in football, wrestling, and is currently playing basketball. Johann is a fun kid to be around, he has a great sense of humor but works his tail off at the same time. What I enjoy about coaching him is his self-motivational drive, he's not content with where he's at today and is always pushing himself to be the best!"
Great job, Johann! Keep up the good work. #TheBulldogWay

We had a very competitive spelling bee today, with the winners advancing to the county spelling bee in Coffeyville. Taylor Melugin is the Champion! Runner Up is Ryan Sandon with Lynna Clark coming in a close 3rd. It was a great way to showcase the amazing students we have! Both Taylor and Ryan will represent IMS but if one of them can’t compete, Lynna will be a representative. Great job to all the contestants! #TheBulldogWay

Our Athlete of the Week is James Kistler. The coaches say, “James is a hard working young man. He is a very coachable kid and has a great passion for the game of basketball. James also played football for IMS and performed at high levels for us. Everyday James shows up and gives 100%, a great leader on and off the court. One thing that amazes me about him is how fun is to be around him and how respectful he is to his coaches and teammates.”
James, we appreciate you and the effort you give, inside and outside, of our Building. Good luck this weekend and keep up the good work! #TheBulldogWay
