Imago Dei Middle School, Tucson

On Saturday morning, 6th graders Bill and Ange joined Imago Dei's Enrichment Director, Mr. Frank, for a check presentation at Sprouts #23 (1st and Wetmore). The school earned a generous grant of $6,500 to support expansion of our nutrition education programs that will grow our already successful efforts. The check presentation was one of 424 made by Sprouts and the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation on Saturday all across the country.

With this support, Imago Dei students will be learning even more about nutrition, healthy approaches to their food diets, culinary arts, gardening and more. We appreciate the generous support of Brian and the entire team at Store 23, their customers, and the entire Sprouts organization.

Our last new photos for this Friday night, but our team will be hard at work tomorrow getting even more Chapel Rock all-school camp photos out to Facebook for these amazing kids' families and friends to share.

Sharing even more photos from our week at Chapel Rock camp in Prescott.

Sharing more photos from all-school camp at Chapel Rock in Prescott. We had a blast!

It's Thursday morning here at camp and we're in our final few hours of fun before the buses roll back on down to Tucson for late afternoon arrival. Please enjoy more photos from Tuesday and Wednesday activities. The Variety Show from last night we'll hopefully post this weekend (it's mostly video!).

Here's another 35 or so photos with great memories and great smiles. With Eucharist and the Variety Show both coming up after dinner, these might be our last posts until later tonight (if the adults are still awake by then!) If we don't post later tonight, we'll get up before the kids on Thursday morning to share even more great photos!

Building on the camp's lessons on teamwork, our students enjoyed Cool Runnings as their Tuesday Night Movie at our annual camp in Prescott.

This morning our entire student body of 88 kids, with most of our teachers and staff (and some of our graduates for extra support) rolled out of downtown on two comfy buses for the 4+ hour trip to Chapel Rock Camp in Prescott. This annual tradition is equal parts community building and fun, with the kids doing everything from big group and field games, kayaking and swimming to ropes courses, "the leap of faith," a variety show and a campfire. Please see our Facebook and Instagram pages all this week and into the weekend for many more photos and videos as we capture this life changing and life affirming week for our scholars.

Our students aren't the only ones excited to head to our annual camp in Prescott on Monday! Watch this space for photos all next week as our scholars, teachers and staff build community, teamwork and friendships up at Chapel Rock.

On Monday, Imago Dei scholars, teachers and staff participated in our annual oath signing ceremony, signing their names to a pledge to uphold our values of Respect, Honesty, Responsibility and Excellence. The signed Oath is posted for the year at the entrance to our school as a reminder to all of the values that we celebrate and embrace.

The first day of school is in the books! We welcomed 36 new students to Imago Dei as part of a total enrollment of 87 - our largest group of scholars ever. We're excited to launch our greatest year ever!

It's Wednesday and that means it's time to welcome our students and families to our Orientation sessions! This year we're especially excited to welcome 36 new students to Imago Dei - that is more than 40% of our entire student body. We're welcoming new teachers, staff and a new chaplain, too! Please join us in our excitement for the great year of learning, growing and fun that we'll have together.
