Munford’s Memos
Dear Charger
Family,
February has been a
month of
celebrations- Black
History month,
Groundhog’s Day,
Valentine’s Day
and President’s
Day. It’s hard to
believe that we are
more than halfway
through the school
year.
Our students
recently took part
in the 2nd Annual
“Chargers Got
Talent” Show.
What a fun night
showcasing our
students many
talents.
February News
Winter sports concluded
with many of our teams
advancing in the Metro
Tournament and VISAA
State Tournament.
Congratulations to all of
our Charger teams on a
fantastic end to the
basketball and indoor
track seasons.
We have many
upcoming events at
IWA during the month
of March.
Our Open House for
prospective families is
Wednesday, March 4th
at 6:30.
A “Fun Run” will take
place on Friday, March
6th and will be the last
day of our Annual
Boosterthon Fundraiser.
The 16th Annual “For
The Kids” Gala and
Auction is March 14th.
Report cards for the third
nine weeks will go home
on March 18th.
Although we are barely
into a new calendar year,
we are already beginning
registration for the 2020-
2021 school year.
Thank you for your
continued support of
IWA. We are blessed to
have so many fabulous
families.
Kind regards,
Mark Munford

Mr. Henderson’s Psychology students conducted a blindfold experiment in which the students lost their sense
of vision. The experiment tested their ability to walk and navigate around the school while interacting with
other students and faculty. They also assessed their sense of direction and location and how their other senses
compensated for their loss of vision.
Mrs. Key’s Honors Anatomy class completed their cardiovascular unit by dissecting a pig heart.
