A message from the principal...

Dear Imagine Families,

I can't believe that the 15-16 school year is already coming to a close, itfeels like we just started, but as a school community, we certainly didaccomplish many great things this school year! Some of our proudestmoments include: Mrs. Cook's designation as Imagine Schools Co-RunnerUp for National Teacher of the Year, being named a National AwardRecipient for the second year in a row for Promising Practices inCharacter Education, and inducting our first 47 members into ImagineSchool at North Port's Chapter of the National Elementary HonorSociety.

Summer break is right around the corner, so this will be my lastnewsletter for awhile, but keep an eye out for a few summer newsletterssharing details about our annual uniform sale and family BBQ, as well asimportant information about the 16-17 school year. If you would like tokeep your child practicing math and reading over the summer, pleasecheck our website in the next few weeks for our optional grade levelsummer reading and math packets.

There is important information in this newsletter regarding report cardsand assessment score reports, and we included collages of some of thegreat events, field trips, and projects that our students have been



involved in over the past few weeks. Our office will be open all summer ona modified schedule, so please feel free to call or stop in at any time. Ihope that your family has a fun-filled summer, with some time forrelaxation too. I look forward to enjoying the last week with ourstudents, and planning for excellence in the 16-17 school year!

Sincerely,

Aleischa CooverElementary Principal

Character Development

May Character Trait: Perseverance

Message on morning announcements: When things in lifeare difficult, sometimes we forget to focus on all of the goodthings in our lives. Even if things are tough, remembering whatwe have to be thankful for can help us persevere throughchallenges. Every day, try to think of at least one thing thatyou're thankful for. One of those things may be that you get tocome to an awesome school every day!

https://parentportal.sarasotacountyschools.net/



Classroom followup: Have students write about five thingsthey are thankful for and give reasons for each (for example, Iam thankful for my best friend because she knows how to cheerme up when I am sad). Discuss how our attitudes can impactus at school if we are focused on everything that is goingwrong: how do we feel, how well do we do on our assignments,what happens in our relationships with our family and ourfriends? If we try to think about things that make us happy:how do we feel, how well do we do on our school assignments,what happens in our relationships with our family and ourfriends? If your students are having a hard time thinking ofthings that they are thankful for, talk to them about what theyhave fun doing, what they like to eat, where they like to go,what special people (or even pets) they have in their lives, etc. As the teacher, try to think of five things you are thankful for aswell and share them with your class.
