A Parent Information Meeting will be held for parents interested in the Imagine Schools Advanced Reading Challenge (ARC) for Grades 3-6.  ARC is open to Imagine Schools’ scholars who are at or above grade level in reading, and who can assume responsibility for independent work beyond their class and homework assignments.  Students will pledge to read each book in the provided grade-level book list and complete a short response.  A $50 Barnes and Noble Gift Card will be awarded to each scholar who reads and reports on the designated number of books (25 for grades 3-6) in a school year.  These students will be recognized nationally by Imagine Schools.  Come learn more about the ARC on Wednesday, September 18 from 5:00-5:45 in the IA Multipurpose Room.  Please contact Ms. McIllmail for additional information.
