Band and Orchestra:

Why should you be part of the music?

1. Music has a pedagogy that has been proven to develop the areas of reading, math, language, and comprehensive skills.
2. Music is one of the few classes left in the curriculum that speaks to the intuitive, right side of the brain.
3. Music allows for the study and appreciation of an art form that is vital to each student’s education.

Our band and orchestra students have the opportunity to progress through various levels of classes, each with unique performance opportunities! Band and orchestra provide students with an enriching, creative, educational, and rewarding experiences. We strive to instill a life-long desire for learning and achievement through music. The Arcadia Complex offers band classes from fourth to twelfth grade and is dedicated to providing a positive community for students to perform, grow, and learn lifelong lessons.

Our garden club is focused on students learning how to grow their own vegetables organically. Students engage in all aspects of the process: planning, preparing the soil, planting, fertilizing, as well as maintaining the garden and much more. The goal of our club is for students to build an appreciation of growing food organically, to connect with the outdoors, and to take ownership of the garden and the decisions that guide it. Club members also get to bring home fresh, pesticide and herbicide free vegetables throughout the year as our garden produces.

The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is a membership organization created to recognize students who strive towards academic achievement while also developing strong characteristics of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. Ingleside NJHS members spend the school year making our campus and community better by participating in service hour opportunities through projects and fundraisers.

The Ingleside Middle School Robotics Program offers students the opportunity to get a hands-on experience programming robots to solve problems. One aspect of the Program uses LEGO MINDStorm robots and a computer program that allows visual programming of the robots to successfully achieve progressive challenges using teamwork and communication with fellow students.

The yearbook club will allow students the opportunity to explore their creativity/imagination and be able to apply it in a book! Keeping a positive, creative and welcoming environment is a MUST for IMS and myself. Students will be able to capture the unforgettable memories they make throughout the year. Allowing every student to relive their middle school years all over again as the years go on! Join us on this fun journey!
