Dragon Happenings
Dear Imagine Families,
This past week our students participated in Tampa Bay Votes and learned about the election process in a democracy. There were so many wonderful learning activities including classroom elections, debates, discussions about the party system, posters, running for office, etc. The results of the school election will be shared November 7th. Will our students make the right predication?
Students also participated in the Book Character Parade, and had the opportunity to make some purchases at the Scholastic Book Fair.
This week the Cookie Dough orders will be ready for pick up on Wednesday afternoon and a second Science Fair info night is scheduled.
Please note that the correct date for the McDonald's Spirit night has been made. The second Thursday of the month is McDonald's night. We hope you plan to support this fundraiser on Thursday!
We have lots of activities at Imagine, and many parents like to take pictures. Please remember that the photo/media release signed by parents includes pictures parents take. Student pictures should not be included on Facebook, Shutterfly, or on the internet unless the parent has signed the release. Please contact the office if you have any questions.

Application Period
|  It's the time of the school year when parents apply to have their child's name be included in the lottery that is held on February 1st. The application for the 2013-14 school year is posted on the website. All applications received between November 1st and January 31st are included in the lottery. Current parents with siblings entering kindergarten next year should also complete an application form. A seat is guaranteed for your child, but we need to know how many siblings are planning to attend. The e-mail address of all applicants are added to the newsletter distribution list. We welcome our new potential families, and hope you use the weekly newsletter as a way to get to know Imagine School.

Book Fair

Thank you to Linda Spurza for coordinating our Scholastic Book Fair this past week. We're also so grateful for all the parent volunteers that helped out while our students picked out their books.

Great American Teach In
| 
The Great American Teach In is scheduled for Thursday November 15th. This is an opportunity for you to come in and share information about your job with our students. It gives you a chance to get students excited and give them options for their future.
The time of day and amount of time you want to come in for is all up to you and what your schedule permits. You also have the option of sharing with the whole school (in two different presentations) or with just your child's class or team.
If this is an opportunity you'd like to take (or you know someone who would), please contact Mrs. Denson at charlotte.denson2@imagineschools.com and list the time period you are available and whether you'd like to share with the school or just a class. Thank you in advance!
