October is Bullying Prevention Month

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Schools, organizations, and communities are raising awareness of bullying prevention and teaching students how to respond effectively to bullying situations. At Isanti Middle School, we have several activities in place to help our students with this difficult topic.

Unity Day: Tuesday October 18

We encourage all students to wear orange on Tuesday, October 18 in support of Unity Day 2022. Make it ORANGE and make it end! What are your true colors when it comes to showing that you believe that all youth should be safe from bullying?

IMS Cares Color Run: Wednesday, October 19

We will be joining Cambridge Middle School as they host their fourth annual Color Run.Students that are interested in participating will have the opportunity to purchase an IMS Cares Color Run t-shirt during the week prior to the event, this coming week. The $10 purchase will cover the cost of the t-shirt and materials needed for the color run. Any additional proceeds will be donated to a cause in support of bullying prevention in schools. Any students not participating in the event will be on the sidelines cheering on the runners. Staff members are also encouraged to run the race!

Cross Country Meet at IMS on Tuesday, October 18

C-I Schools is hosting the Mississippi 8 Cross Country meet here on Tuesday afternoon. This is a great event for student athletes, but it will create some additional challenges for our already stressed dismissal procedures. We are doing some things to address parking challenges and will be working over the weekend to identify additional opportunities to reduce congestion from 3:15-3:50 when we have the most traffic entering and exiting our campus.
