C Wing Pumpkins

To celebrate the fall season, students in C Wing painted pumpkins. Additionally, during a trip to Jonamac Orchard, students went pumpkin picking.

 Sophomores gathered together to paint their pumpkins.

D-Wing Starts the Spookiest Month of the Year!

D-wing is kicking off the new month with a brand new bulletin board! With the coming of fall and all the spooky festivities therein, the wing-guides created a board featuring Halloween Fun-Facts. Such bone-chilling facts include: "Frankenstein has been entertaining readers and viewers since 1818!" and "Vanilla Ice was born on Halloween in 1967."

D-Wing's Halloween Fun Facts

Coming activities include:

• A student-led seminar on sleep by our own Gabriel Bryk
• A wing-wide poster project on self-expression
• A wing panel in making both light of, and sense of, this tumultuous election
• The end of our semester-long movie tournament, with Rent! upcoming and finishing with the blockbuster Sharknado!

With a month so influenced by Mary Shelley, let's close out this post from a Percy Shelly (lightly altered): 

"My name is [D-wing], [wing] of [wings]. Look on these [bulletin boards] ye mighty, and despair!"

Well that's it for this time. Have a great month and an amazing Halloween!

Best wishes,

D-wing guides,

Dan Marten and Lucas Urbanski

Extended Weekend Information

Hi IMSA Parents,

We have our first extended of the school year coming up so I have some useful information for all of you.

Closing Procedure

Your student's room must be clean an inspected by an RC before they can leave. They can not leave until their RC approves them. Once they are approved, they will turn their key and fob into their RC. At least one of the RCs in the office needs to make visual confirmation of whoever is picking up your student before they can leave.

Hall Closing - 5:00pm on 10/6

The halls close at 5:00pm this Thursday10/6. For every 5 minutes your child stays on campus past 5:00pm, you will be charged $25 (Ex. If you show up at 6:00pm, you'll be charged $300 for being 60 minutes late). I highly recommend planning to pick up your child by 4:15pm the latest, that way if you hit traffic or are running late, you have a buffer to make it here before 5:00pm.

Halls Open - 3:00pm on 10/10

The halls will open at 3:00pm on Monday 10/10. You may bring your child back any time after this, but we'd prefer you brought them back before 10:00pm. Have your child call 630-907-5101 to be let back in since they won't have their key or fob on them.

Parental Permission

If your child will be taking public transportation (the ATC) or going home with anyone other than you or someone not listed on their overnight permission form, you must call the 1501 Office (630-907-5101) to grant your student permission. You can call any time this week when the office is open.

Downstate Bus on 10/6

D AND C WING CRUSH SEXISM WITH REVOLUTIONARY BROTHER/SISTER WING PROPOSAL

Hi, friends!

On Thursday, D wing proposed to our new sister wing, 01's very own C wing! Or, rather, we subverted patriarchal standards and had them propose to us. Both wings read their own clever poems and Diego dramatically jumped through our giant patriarchy poster. It was a fun and symbolic time for both wings. :)
