Where everyone is welcome, and everyone belongs.
Thank you to everyone who attended the 2018 Pancake Breakfast and Silent Auction! It really was a success due in large part to the energy and enthusiasm of all those who attended. We also want to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge the business sponsors who gave their time, space or product to support our school:
JOIN MOVEMENT EXCHANGE at Isthmus Montessori Academy!
Members of the UW-Madison chapter of Movement Exchange will be leading a weekly 45 minute movement class and would love for your students to join!
These activities are intended to get the students moving, creatively challenge and allow discovery through the body, and be a fun emotional outlet.
No previous experience is required, come as you are, and move to change!
We look forward to meeting everyone next week for our first class!

Dear IMA Elementary Families
The weather is truly invigorating! In learning that the weather will remain a bit brisk through early next week, we have decided to move the PE ice skating trip at Tenney Park to Thursday, January 18 in the afternoon.
We have also learned of an opportunity to make this a service trip! Madison Parks System is doing a winter clothing drive. It was no surprise that the children were delighted at the idea to be able to serve the community. If you have winter clothing that you are able to donate to their winter clothing drive, please feel free to send your child to school with the donation clothing on the 18th. We shall bring them with us, and add the clothing to the Tenney Park collection spot.
You should be receiving a permission slip Friday at dismissal. If you have any questions, please let us know.
