November 2020 Newsletter
One School. One Vision. One Family.
As we embrace the month of November and continue to adjust to our "new norm", my focus this entire month is to express my gratitude to the Imagine-Chancellor family. I am so incredibly thankful and blessed to be a part of this outstanding school community. Each day when I come to school, I am always greeted with smiling faces (behind masks) and sweet gestures by the incredible members of this family.
I encourage everyone to take time to count their blessings each day in November and demonstrate an attitude of gratitude. We all have so many things to be thankful for, so lets take time to focus on the positive things in our lives.
Thank you and always remember we are #inthistogether!
With love and appreciation,
Ms. Standley
