🦷✨ Healthy Habits, Bright Futures! Last Thursday, our AVID students had the opportunity to welcome local dentist Dr. Colt Canepa to IMS for a special guest presentation! Dr. Canepa shared valuable lessons about the importance of taking care of our health, building positive habits, and making choices today that can impact our future. Students learned how oral health goes beyond just having a healthy smile—it can also play an important role in our overall health, confidence, and long-term success! As a University of Florida graduate with experience in dentistry, military service, and public health, Dr. Canepa also provided our students with an opportunity to learn from a professional serving our local community. A huge thank you to Dr. Canepa for taking the time to share his knowledge and experiences with our Thunderbirds! We appreciate our community partners who help us prepare students for success both inside and outside the classroom! ❤️🖤 #ProudToBeAThunderbird #AVID #HealthyHabits #FutureReady

📢 Thunderbird Families — Look for RED tomorrow! ❤️📁

Tomorrow during 1st period, every IMS student will receive their new Thunderbird Communication Folder! Each student will receive a red folder featuring our Thunderbird logo that will help us create a consistent way to send important information between school and home.

Students should keep this folder inside their AVID binder throughout the year. Families, we encourage you to check the red folder regularly for:

📣 Other important information for families

Tomorrow’s folder will already have some important information inside, so be sure to ask your Thunderbird to show you their new red folder when they get home! ❤️🖤
