New Website Feature

In an effort to make our website easy to use and meet your needs, we’ve added a new feature that lets you sort out articles by their category. For example, if you are interested in reading articles only about our volleyball team, you can select “Volleyball” from the list of categories. All of the articles about volleyball will then appear for your reading pleasure!

The drop-down list of categories is located toward the bottom of the right column of the website (down below the upcoming events, etc).

This new feature should help you track down old articles more quickly or find the articles that interest you the most. We hope it helps! If there is anything else we can do to make our site more user-friendly, please let us know!

School Tuition Organization Opportunity

If you are looking for a unique opportunity to support IMS with a monetary donation, please consider contributing via the School Tuition Organization (STO).

Simple math suggests that a $1,000 contribution may only cost you $100!

Interested in more details? Please contact Larry Swartzendruber at the school by December 1 for more information . . . with questions . . . to request forms.
