Dragon Happenings
Dear Imagine Families,
The Open House scheduled for one 90 minute block for all grade levels worked out well! Parents were able to see teachers at all the grade levels on the same night, and we had many of our former students come back and visit. It was great to see them and know they've successfully transitioned to high school. Progress reports went home with out K-5 students on Friday, and our middle grades progress reports are accessible through eSembler. I encourage you to contact your child's teacher if you have questions about your child's progress. Florida Law requires public school districts to commemorate the founding principles of our nation during the last full week of September. This week we celebrate Freedom Week with discussion about the Declaration of Independence. The sixth grade lockers were installed last week, and the students will get their locks on Monday. If you haven't paid the $5 locker fee, please submit a check made out to Imagine School. The students are so excited to have a place to store some of their books and lighten the load of their book bags. Thank you to the Gelyon family for donating 3way radios to be used during dismissal. They're going to be handy!! i9 Soccer begins on October 30th! Check out the information in the Enrichment Links. The recent i9 newsletter can be found here. Don't forget to sign up to be a volunteer for this school year! A reminder to parents that siblings are not allowed to accompany parents on field trips, while volunteering in the classroom, or during classroom parties.
Bus Driver: We are in need of back up drivers or substitute drivers. If you have a CDL license and are interested in being a bus driver, please contact theresa.reed@imagineschools.com .

Fall Festival

Odyssey of the Mind
| 
Parents and students are invited to an informational meeting that will be held on Thursday, September 27th, at 6:00 PM in the school's gym. Ms. Freda Abercrombie, head of the Gulf Coast Region, will be the guest speaker. An informational packet will be distributed.
Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program."

Storybook Art Studio
| 
Come explore the best of children's literature each week through a fun mix of games, drama, reading, and, of course, a take home art-project!
Together we will dive in to the works of Dr. Seuss, Eric Carle, Maurice Sendek and many more -- enjoying their classic stories and trying our hands at their illustration styles. Class will be held on Wednesdays Sept. 19-Nov. 14 (9 sessions) from 3:30-5pm in the Media Center. (Since September 19th is an early release day, the class will run from 1-2:30 on that day.) Class fee is $90 per child and a snack is included . Space is limited to 10 students. Open to grades K-3.
This after-school enrichment class will be hosted by Ms. Deena Haiber, who has hosted Arts and Crafts of the Seasons at Imagine for the past two years, and is a certified Art Teacher and Library Media Specialist. Please feel free to email her at haiberz@aol.com with any questions.

Target Dollars
|  Forty-five families have enrolled Imagine School with their Target Red Card and this week we received a check for $1900. Parents received 5% off all purchases, and Target donates 1% to our school.
Please consider filling out an application for REDcard the next time you visit Target. Families can sign up for a debit card (no fees) or a credit card. - You'll automatically get 5% off when you use your card in Target stores in the United States and on Target.com
- When you use your REDcard at Target.com, your purchases ship for free. No minimum purchase. No membership fee. And that's on top of the 5% savings you already receive just for shopping with your REDcard.
- Choose Imagine School and Target will donate up to 1% of your REDcard purchases at Target stores in the U.S and at Target.com.
Just imagine how much could be raised for Imagine if more than 45 families participated by shopping at Target with a REDcard!
We also earned $250 in gift certificates from Target thanks to your online voting!! Thank you!
