    On October 15th, Irmo Middle School students participated in the Midlands Education Business Alliance (MEBA) Health Care Careers Day at Midlands Technical College. The purpose of this day was to introduce students to health care careers, as well as inform them on how to prepare for those careers. Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to learn about careers in respiratory care, dental, nuclear medicine, medical laboratory technology, and nursing by having some interactive "hands-on" learning. "This was an incredible opportunity for our students. Principal Robert Jackson stated "providing our students with these types of interactive learning experiences will help to guide their chosen career paths." We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Midlands Education and Business Alliance for working with us to provide this experience for our students. It is through these types of partnerships that our student's can reach their full potential.

    IMS Junior Leadership Program


    Building Citizens of Character Dedicated To Serving their Community What is it?
    The Junior Leadership Program (JLP) is a program created by Irmo High School AFJROTC cadets and Irmo Middle School administration which will be held during your students enrichment time. Meetings will take place once a week and will consist of a multitude of activities promoting leadership, responsibility and respect.

    Eligibility
    Any student in the seventh or eighth grade is eligible to participate in the Junior Leadership Program.

    Benefits Students will be taught and mentored by AFJROTC cadets who have been in the high school program for at least
    one entire school year. The cadets chosen will be the best the program has to offer.

    Students will learn respect, responsibility, self control, and leadership to help them be successful in school and in
    the community and their future. Students will be taught personal hygiene and be expected to maintain personal hygiene and minimal grooming standards. If a student chooses to stay in JLP and advance in the program, he/she may be able to join AFJROTC at a higher rank than other first year cadets.

    Opportunities These are just a few of the activities that students can do. Model Rocketry: Students will learn how rockets work and how to build them. They will then build and launch
    their own rockets. Drill: Drill team cadets will teach basic drill (military marching) to the students. Students who show interest and progress in this activity will have the opportunity to learn rifle drill. Introduction to Aviation: For students interested in aviation there will be an opportunity to learn about the history of flying and basic aviation, including the use of flight simulators. Students may also be able to fly in an aircraft. Volunteering: AFJROTC cadets participate in many volunteering activities that JLP students could also join. Okra Strut Parade: Along with AFJROTC cadets, the students can march in the front of the parade beginning in 2014. Military Ball: A formal dance for the cadets with some basic military ceremony and a lot of dancing and music is an option for JLP students. Awards Banquet: A ceremony at the end of the year awarding cadets for a job well done is common in the high school. JLP participants will be invited to the ceremony and presented awards along with the high school cadets. Field Trips: Students may be able to take trips to the high school to visit and observe cadets in action as well as take trips with cadets to drill meets and, potentially, military establishments and historic sites. This is not a military or recruiting program. We use military skills to emphasize skills for success in life. There is no obligation for a member of the JLP. Students in the program are not required to join AFJROTC in high school. This is not a program to deal with disciplinary issues. This is not a graded activity.

    Seasons Greetings!!!!!

    Santa Claus and his elves are hard at work in their workshop at the North Pole preparing once again to spread their Christmas cheer!!!! This year the Lexington County Sheriffs Department and the Lexington / Richland School District #5 are working together for Operation Santa. Over the years Operation Santa has provided gifts of both toys and food to families and children within the school district during the Holiday Season. This year we are again committed to bringing the gift of joy to those less fortunate, but without your help this will not be possible. As a sponsor we ask that you purchase one new outfit and one new toy per child. To volunteer as a sponsor, please email Scott Lyons at [email protected]. On behalf of the many families and children within our school district, we at Operation Santa thank you for making this Christmas a memorable one.
