IMSA September Newsletter

In Ms. Masoumeh’s science class, 6th and 7th graders created 3D models showing the Earth’s layers—crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. Students used clay and craft supplies to build their projects and presented what each layer does. It was a great mix of creativity and science!

Student Government snack sales have officially returned and will take place every Tuesday. All snacks cost only $1, and the funds raised will help support school events, activities, and student-led initiatives throughout the year.

The SGA has launched a community service Donation Drive in partnership with Interfaith Ministries. Students and families are encouraged to bring in essential items such as toiletries, non-perishable food, and gently used clothing to help local families in need. Donation bins are located in the main hallway.

This month, IMSA hosted its PTO elections. Parents gathered to hear updates about school improvements, upcoming goals, and ways to get involved. After the presentation, parents participated in voting for PTO leadership positions and had time to ask questions and share ideas.

IMSA teachers have started in-person parent visits to both new and returning students' homes. These visits help teachers connect with families, support student goals, and strengthen communication between school and home. The visits have been very well received by parents and students alike.

Elementary students visited a local apple orchard for their first field trip of the year. They learned about how apples are grown, sorted, and harvested. Students also got to walk through the orchard and ask farmers questions about the process from tree to table.

Middle and high school students enjoyed a fun and active field trip to the ice rink. For some, it was their first time skating, while others showed off their skills. The trip helped students bond, step outside their comfort zones, and kick off the year with excitement.

The 8th grade students took part in a meaningful Asma Al-Husna competition. Each student memorized 40 names of Allah and chose one to highlight by creating a canvas. They then presented their artwork and explained the meaning of the chosen name in front of the school. It was a beautiful blend of faith, art, and public speaking.

Dorm students enjoyed an adventurous water tubing outing this month in Helen, Georgia. They spent the day at the river, relaxing and laughing with friends while riding the tubes. It was a refreshing break from academics and a chance for dorm students to connect and unwind.
