Immaculate Heart of Mary School

🦆💔 Well… the halls are quiet, the classrooms are empty & apparently even the duck “Danny” showed up looking for the kids.

Standing in the parking lot missing all the laughter, chaos, questions, stories & daily adventures, this little guy seemed just as confused about where everyone went! 😂

To all of the students & families: thank you for another amazing year. While we will miss seeing your smiling faces every day, we hope your summer is filled with sunshine,adventures & lots of ice cream! ☀️🍦🏖️

Have a fantastic summer, everyone! Danny the Duck will be patiently waiting for your return. 🦆❤️😢

🎓Congratulations to the Class of 2026🎓

When two teachers accidentally show up twinning 👯‍♀️📚✨
Great minds think alike… and apparently dress alike too 😂
Either this is a sign of true friendship or we’ve officially spent too much time at school together!
Serving lesson plans AND matching outfits 💁‍♀️🍎

Hands-on learning at its finest! 🔬🧪👏 Last week, our 7th grade science classes had another amazing dissection day 🐷🩺 Students teamed up with both alumni 🎓 & brave parent volunteers 🙌 for an experience they won’t soon forget!

When I say school is more than a building 🏫💙this is exactly what I mean. Learning about the systems of the body is important on paper 📚 or a screen 💻 but applying that knowledge in a real-life setting helps shape students’ critical thinking 💡, curiosity 🤔, teamwork 🤝, and confidence 🌟 in ways they may not even realize yet.

Moments like these are what make learning come alive ✨🔍🧠 So grateful for the families, alumni & teachers💪🏼💪🏼who continue to make these opportunities possible! 💙👏

Our fifth graders sharpened their coding skills during DC class by diving into defining & calling functions within a program!

Students wrote algorithms for different components of a game, then custom-built functions to bring their ideas to life. The best part? They got to test out & play the games they created themselves! 🎮✨
Great job, fifth grade, on showing off those problem-solving skills & bravo to Mrs.Dumford for leading the way! 👏🚀

🌸💐 What a blooming wonderful way to start the day at IHM! Our amazing Ihm Pto Staff Appreciation crew really helped us blossom with joy by collecting & arranging beautiful bouquets for every member of our school staff. 🌷✨

Thank you for always helping our staff feel appreciated and reminding us that kindness really does grow everywhere at IHM! 🌼💕

Just a week ago, on a beautiful afternoon, IHM was graced with a truly sacred moment, a Eucharistic Procession that brought peace & reflection to our community. Led by Father Aaron, the consecrated Host was carried reverently in the monstrance throughout the school, a powerful reminder of Christ’s presence among us. As students followed in prayer, softly reciting the Hail Mary, a sense of calm & purpose filled the air. In the midst of busy days & full schedules, we were each given the gift of stillness, a chance to pause, reflect & remember that we are never alone. Father Aaron’s message resonated deeply “Jesus walks with us always, guiding, comforting, and loving us every step of the way”

Dissection Friday was one for the books! 🧪🔬
Our 7th graders teamed up for an incredible day of hands-on learning in the lab with Dissecting Doran👨‍⚕️After a thorough safety lesson, the real excitement began as students brought their biology lessons to life through real-world application.
We are so fortunate that our 7th graders were guided by Mr.Doran , along with the support of dedicated parent & alumni volunteers who jumped in to help make the experience even more meaningful. And to top it all off, we were honored with a special visit from Father Angi💙
What an unforgettable day of curiosity, discovery, and learning!
