Isthmus Montessori Academy Night at the Duck Pond

Come join us at The Duck Pond at Warner Park for a night of fun and baseball!

On Sunday, July 30th, the Battle Creek Bombers out of Battle Creek, Michigan face off against the Madison Mallards in a Northwoods League extravaganza.

For this special IMA night game, $14 gets you a reserved stadium seat and an official Mallards baseball cap. And $5 of every ticket sold goes to IMA!

Our IMA Mallards Night at the Duck Pond last year was a big hit. The Mallards put on a good show, with plenty of between-inning activities and surprises for kids and families. There’s also great food and drinks to be had by all.

To purchase your tickets, click here and then click BUY TICKETS in the upper-right corner.

In the Promotions Box, enter Promo Code IMA. Then come join us Sunday, July 30th.

If you have any questions, you can contact the Mallards or contact us here at IMA. We hope to see you on the 30th!

IMA’s Edible Schoolyard and Garden

Dear IMA Families,

We’re thrilled to be working with FarmRaiser this year, selling organic seeds from High Mowing Organic Seeds to raise money for Isthmus Montessori Academy’s edible schoolyard and garden.

Our fundraising goal is $500. This sale only lasts through February 24, so we hope you’ll get started right away! You can purchase products by visiting this link.

Products will be sent home with families, or can be picked up at school, on March 3, 2017. If you are interested in volunteering on Distribution Day, let me know.

Tips for Great Sales:

Share the link to our online market with family and friends. You can write an email explaining your FarmRaiser and direct them to our link to support us.

Post the link on social media and ask people to share, too!

Don’t forget about the donation option! Many people would rather just make a cash pledge. We love donations and 90% comes to the school!

This fundraiser is all about supporting healthy eating, and helping our children learn about how things grow! We’re so excited to engage our students in conversations around nutrition and health and know they will be great community advocates for a healthy lifestyle as they sell their products.

Thank you for your help in making this our most successful fundraiser yet!

 

Sincerely,

Allison Bloom
Adolescent Guide
