Offer Great Services
to Students!
Math Team Competition
Clubs and Tutoring...
Tutoring continues in
the Library:
Shades Valley High
School Beta Club
Members come Tues-
days and Thursdays to
the library for tutoring
in the following sub-
jects:
Math, Science, Eng-
lish, Social Studies,
Test Studying, Orga-
nizing Notebooks.
This service is just as
important to our stu-
dents as it is to the tu-
tors. They get service
hours for tutoring.
Another great bonus is
that former IMS stu-
dents serve as tutors
and they know how to
help students succeed.
The math team has a
competition at Hoover
High School on March
1st. Registration is at
8:00 a.m.
