Fun in Our Community!

This picture is from Pi Day! We celebrated a little late on Wednesday. At our All School Meeting we had a Pi contest where students competed to see who could memorize the most digits. Jovan, one of our 8th graders, won! (sorry I don't have a picture of him!) Later, Christine handed out pie to all of our students, they definitely enjoyed it!

That same afternoon we had our first school dance. It was more like a balloon fight, but the kids did sure have fun. I got to see the kids playing, dancing , and just having a good time. We look forward to holding more community events.

Speaking of community events, we have a very important meeting coming up for parents (and students if they'd like to attend). This is a mandatory meeting about next year and enrollment. All families must have one person in attendance. The meeting is April 14th in the Community Room at 6pm - 7pm.

Making a Difference

Hi IA Community,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. We had our second Parent Information Session last night for our 2009/10 school year. At that meeting one of our middle school students was there and asked if he could come up and say something about our school. He proceeded to say how much he enjoys it here and how much it has changed his life. It was a really touching moment and I was left feeling gratitude for everything that it has taken for IA to become and all that we'll be doing to improve in the future. It's in these moments, when I hear from our students, that I know we are on a great journey and that we are sojourning together.

Thanks for adventuring,

Danielle
