Destination ImagiNation (DI) News We have the opportunity to have two Lakeview DI teams this year. The first team, Rising Stars, is for K-2nd graders. The second team is an elementary level for 3rd-5th graders. Both teams need a parent volunteer to be the co-team manager. Each team needs an additional parent volunteer to help out. If we don't have parent volunteers to fill these roles, we can not have teams participate this year! Training for new team managers is available. If your child is interested in joining either team or if you are interested in guiding either team, please contact Chitra at chitrasa@hotmail.com. For more info, visit www.idodi.org or www.seattle-metro-DI.org. |
