Attention: Opportunities to help this week!


Dear IMA Families,

Hopefully this finds you well and echoing our news of celebration regarding IMA becoming a public school in 2018!

As our school community turns towards positive changes of public access, we welcome the opportunity to do the heavy lifting this transition will require. This effort will be the collaboration of our existing school community as well as the growing student body and their families.

Can you please help the school with the following items:

  • Come to the FTO meeting on Tuesday, January 23 and bring a notebook!
  • Sign up to canvas surrounding neighborhoods.
  • Provide childcare for canvasing groups.
  • Sign up for a training on IMA talking points
  • Identify opportunities for us to speak to interested groups or at events.
  • Remember this is good news for all children within our community as we work towards our ultimate goal of becoming part of MMSD.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We are here to listen and help in any way that we can.

River Food Pantry

Thanks to all who donated to the Upper Elementary food drive for River Food Pantry!

This afternoon, following our whole-school Thanksgiving sing-along gathering and lunch, twenty students from ages five to fourteen (along with three teachers and one visiting IMA alumna) walked from IMA to the food pantry with a wagon and a quadruple stroller full of food — 107 pounds of food total!

It was a beautiful walk, 2.4 miles in all, and we enjoyed talking with friends, picking up dried honey locust seed pods, and observing nature along the way. The River Food Pantry staff was very welcoming, and showed us the inside of the pantry; we plan to do more service work with this worthy organization in our neighborhood in the months to come.

Happy Thanksgiving!

October 7th: Race to the Finn!

Dear Parents

I am Nicky Mondroski — mom of Evie, Finn and William and the lead parent on our scholarship fundraising event, Race to the Finn! October 7th is the 5th annual Race to the Finn at Burrows Park. We will have a 1mile, 5k and 10k race available and cost $25, $40 and $70 to walk or run. The race is named in honor of our son, Finnegan, who passed away on January 5th, 2013 from cancer and all proceeds go towards the Finnegan Ringdroski Scholarship.

Here are some ways you can help

1. We need more sponsors. Would your workplace like to donate $100? Their logo would appear on our race t-shirts. They can also throw in flyers or coupons into our race bags if they would like.

2. Ask your local veterinarian, dentist or chiropractor. It is affordable advertising for them.

3. Come to the race and participate! You can sign up here. This week, your children will receive an envelope that people can put donations in (and if your child raises the $25 for the mile — you don’t have to pay the admission fee).

4. Volunteer at the race. We will need help picking up donations (one is Ale Asylum beer!), setting up for the event and cheering on our kids!

Below is my Ask Letter that I take to businesses. If you want to know who has been asked, let me know. There is a list of 25 businesses already.

Thank you for all your help!

Spring Scrip Card Fundraiser

Spring Scrip Card Fundraiser

Here’s how it works: You purchase gift cards at face value, the school orders those cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a reduced price, and the difference is an instant rebate for the school. Scrip cards are an easy way to make your shopping – whether it’s routine, every-day shopping or gift shopping – help the school!

Place and order by filling out the Family Order Form (available as hard copy at school).

Select the item(s) you want, make a check out to Isthmus Montessori Academy, and submit your check and order form via the Secure Payment box located in the Great Hall (by the kitchen.)

Orders are due by April 28, 2017.

Once orders are submitted, we hope to receive them in the mail by May 8 and distribute them to you at that time.

Questions about the program? Feel free to contact school, Sally Griffith-Oh, or leave a note in the Griffith-Oh family mailbox in the Great Hall.

Thank you for helping our school!
