Parent Weekly Update for the Week of December 2nd

 

Although any time is a perfect time to be grateful, the month of November especially calls many to be in an attitude of thanksgiving.   We have so much for which to be thankful – family, friends, health, etc. In regard to our educational community, I am especially thankful for each and every stakeholder in the educational process: students, parents/guardians, teachers, support staff, and community members.

As the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us, I would like to share a few specific things that I am thankful for at Imagine Andrews Public Charter School

 

·         I am thankful for scholars who fervently come to school to learn each and every day.

 

·         I am thankful for an amazing school where scholars can come to learn.

 

·         I am thankful for teachers and staff who give many hours of their day to provide scholars with a quality instructional experience that will guide them towards success.

 

·         I am thankful for parents who care and support the efforts of our school.

 

·         I am thankful for community partners who assist us as needed.

 

·         I am thankful for an awesome PTO.

Thank you to all our parents that attended the 2^nd -6^th Grade First Quarter Honor Roll Assembly today, Friday, November 15, 2013.  Our scholars were so excited and we could not have been more proud of them!  Scholars that made the honor roll, principal’s honor, and earned perfect attendance were recognized.  Congratulations to them all! We look forward to celebrating with you for 2^nd quarter.  Thank you also to our parents that jumped right in to assist with the refreshments after the assembly.  You are appreciated!

 

We had guest readers today from Naval Air Facility Washington for our K-2 scholars for Native American Heritage Month.  What a treat is was for our primary scholars!

 

Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Damon, parents of 3^rd grader Frank Damon for the beautiful gift of two picnic tables for our scholars to enjoy.  The tables were not only donated but handmade and painted by Mr. and Mrs. Damon.  Thank you for such a creative gift!
