Ambassadors
5th grade students apply for the semester. They must have a "C" average in all subjects and good conduct. They serve as a service group at MIS and meet weekly for lunch in the staff development. They have jobs they do on campus and have a fund raiser each semester to purchase picnic tables for the playground. This group usually puts on a short original play each semester.

Challenge Team
Students are recommended and selected because of poor academic performance. They meet as a group to talk about study skills and successes they have. They strive to bring up grades to a "C' average in all subjects. They earn a chance to play B.U.G. Bingo and win a prize.
