Lower School Families,
What a wonderful week it has been at IC Imagine! Our students continue to amaze us with their curiosity, creativity, and kindness. Each day, we see them growing as learners and leaders — exploring new ideas, working together, and showing care for their school community. We’re so proud of their efforts and excited to share what’s been happening across the Lower School.
As we wrap up Bullying Prevention Month, we recognized 28 students as Kingfisher Upstanders — students who address bullying head-on by standing up and speaking out for others. We’re so proud of their leadership and compassion!
We’re thrilled to share that Maggie Anders was nominated by one of her peers and recognized as a CEC Game-Changer! This award highlights teachers who make a positive impact in their community through leadership, kindness, and dedication.
