ITMS Weekly Updates

May 15, 2026

Hello Trailblazers!

Please enjoy this week's edition of the ITMS Weekly Updates! We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged.
Sincerely,
Ms. Elkharchafi, Principal
Our ITMS Beta Club Trailblazers have been busy making a difference! This year, we recognized 58 incredible students for their dedication to our community across three tiers of service:
​🥉 Bronze: 20 hours of service
​🥈 Silver: 30 hours of service
​🥇 Gold: 40 hours of service
​But wait—there’s more! 🚀 Our students blew us away with their commitment, leading our Beta sponsors to create a special level of honor for those achieving 100+ hours of service!
​A massive thank you to Ms. Collins and Ms. Bart for guiding our leaders and providing these life-changing opportunities. We are so proud of our Trailblazers! 💚💙🐾
