2. Reach out to sponsors by sharing your pledge link.

3. All pledges and payments are made online.*

4. Cheer on your students at the FUN Event on 12/6.

Run & Done Collections

• EASY for everyone! Sponsors pledge and pay online, saving our volunteers 50+ hours and helping our school collect more pledges faster.

• Sponsors can either make a pledge per lap or a flat donation. If they make a pledge per lap, their credit card is charged after the Event.

*Cash and check payments are still accepted. Must be turned in according to school policy. Your student will still get credit for the pledge or donation.

MIMS, we have an astronaut

The Eagle will land in the cafeteria at 2:15pm and will come speak to the middle school students about his experiences as an astronaut emphasizing the STEM path for a career at NASA.

News from HISD:

METRO is offering HISD students from kindergarten through 12th grade the opportunity to register and receive a discounted METRO Student Q® fare card on campus. The discounted METRO Student Q® fare card allows students to ride all METRO services for 50 percent off the regular fare when they use the Student METRO Q® fare card. METRO Local bus and light-rail service costs just 60 cents each way. (NOTE: Park & Ride service cost will vary). There is no cost to receive the Student METRO Q® fare card. If your family has a signed form on file at MIMS indicating whether want your child to receive a METRO Student Q® Fare Card then, this form (in English and Spanish) will also be accessible to schools on the HISD Web Portal. Signed forms from parents should be returned to the school by November 15, 2019 and filed, prior to METRO visiting the campus.
