Imagine Andrews is "Purpling Up For Military Kids!

April marks the nation’s “Month of the Military Child,” a time to honor our community military youth who have been impacted by deployment. In celebration, Imagine Andrews is inviting everyone to join in and show their support by being part of the“Purple Up! For Military Kids" Day, to be held on  Friday April 13^th

Everyone is being encouraged to wear purple on that date as a visible way to show support and thanks to all military children for their strength and sacrifices. Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is the combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red and Navy blue.

YES, students can opt out of their uniform shirts and ties as long as they are wearing a purple top! Students are still required to wear their uniform pants and shoes!

FAMILY FITNESS NIGHT

Join Imagine Andrews for Family Fitness Night, Monday March 26th at the CAC from 6PM to 8PM.  This Imagine PTO sponsored event features a night of family exercise, nutrition, and FUN!  There will also be a Health Expo with valuable information on ways to live and maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Admission cost for PTO members is free and $5.00 for  non-members.  So, come and join in on the Fitness Fun!

TRAVEL TO ASIA

Geography Project

Every year thousands of tourists visit India, China, and Japan, three countries in the continent of Asia.  Students selected the name of a famous landmark from one of these countries.  A landmark is an important place, monument, or building.  Students have to create a travel poster that will encourage tourists to visit. 

The travel poster (14” x 22” or smaller) can include any symbols related to the landmark and its country, however, it must have the following:

• ·      Slogan with landmark name (e.g., Visit the Washington Monument)
• ·      Landmark Location (country and city; e.g., United States, Washington DC)
• ·      Picture or Drawing of Landmark
• ·      Drawing or Picture of Landmark Country’s Flag (i.e., Japan, China, OR India)

Projects are due FRIDAY, MARCH 2^nd.

100 days of Teaching + 100 Days of Learning = 100 Days of Excellence.

Today, Imagine Superstars celebrated 100 Days of Schools. Door decorating contest, pizza, and parades are just some of the activities students enjoyed in celebration of this momentous milestone.  Second grade students also wrote 100 thank you cards to thank our Troops for everything they do to serve and protect our country.

We would like to thank the AJB Chapel/Protestant Parrish and the Imagine PTO for their donations and support in making this day truly memorable for our students.  

And the Winner is....

Congratulations to Ms. Gunn's class, Box Tops Winners for the month of December.  Keep up the good work!

Start the New Year Right

Start the New Year Right!  Taking inventory of and replenishing your child's school supplies, such as pencils and crayons, is a great way to start 2012 of this school year!  Being prepared for school demonstrates responsibility and accountability.
