Good Afternoon Imagine LWR Families,
 
Happy New Years to all of our SHARKS! We hope you have all enjoyed your Holiday break and are ready for the 2ndsemester of the school year to start. Our holiday break was very busy here at Imagine LWR.  We have added new turf on the play areas, new flooring in the cafeteria, plus several classrooms with new Promethean boards (Smartboards) to enhance student academic and achievement.  It has been very exciting to see these new upgrades.
 
Below please find some updates and reminders for the month of January.
