A Note from Ms. Davis
Dear Families,
On Friday, March 1, we will celebrate the opening of the WOW! Innovation Lab at iAcademy with a ribbon cutting ceremony! This will be a space where your children can explore, design, and create using the latest technology equipment and supplies. Thanks to a generous donation from WOW! for equipment and supplies, and our PTO for the furniture, your kids will be using Lego kits, robots, Project Lead the Way kits, 3D printers and more.
On Tuesday, March 5, we are hosting a Family Game Night! Please join us for a free pancake dinner, board games, and the book fair! It will be a great time for you to have a look in the WOW! Lab, too!
If I can assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to call or come by.
Sincerely,
Cindy Davis,
Principal
