Dragon Happenings

Dear Imagine Families,   

     

The highlight of last week was the visit by Imagine Founder- Dennis Bakke.  He walked through many of our classrooms, met most of the teachers and students, and participated in an assembly.  The photo below shows Mr. Bake speaking to the entire student body.  Thank you to Mrs. Daily's class for presenting an Imagine version of Stone Soup, and to the Imagine Chorus for leading the school in Character Counts.
BakkeVisit 
Another part of our Wednesday assembly with Mr. Bakke was a visit by ABC Action News Myranda Censullo.  She kicked off our annual Angel Tree project to provide for underprivileged children.  Classrooms adopted a child and are showing their compassion and caring for others with their participation.  She took a photo of the students that was shown on the morning news, and talked about our students annual participation.

Application Period
DragonLogo

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.

Winter Clothing Reminder
Cold  

As the weather turns cooler, please remember our uniform policy is still enforced. Students may wear khaki or navy bottoms, and girls may wear tights or leggings under skorts. All students may wear solid long sleeve t- shirts under their school polo shirts or a school jacket. If your child needs a heavier coat for the bus ride, or for outdoor PE/Recess, a heavy coat is approved. However, all students who want to wear a sweatshirt during the day in class must wear an ISLOL sweatshirt. If you need to purchase winter clothes, please visit www.inunisonkids.com  for a sweatshirt, sweater or jacket.
