The 6th graders from Imagine Bella Academy were ushered into Normandy Catering Party Center on the evening of May 26th while parents waited in the lounge area. The students posed for quick photos with friends and quickly rehearsed the ceremony while adjusting their caps and gowns. The packed audience celebrated the 6th graders promotion with heartfelt speeches from their teachers and the Dean of Students. The evening ended with a reception and slideshow of photographs submitted by family members. Wishing the best for the 6th grade class as they continue their educational journey.  Imagine Bella is so proud of you!

Students, staff, and family members gathered outside to cheer on the Kindergarteners of Imagine Bella Academy. The Kindergarten students were treated to a special picnic at Neff Park which included snow cones, face painting, and a bounce house. Can’t wait to see these students shine in first grade next year!

Hello, my name is Mr. Bobby Ford and I am a professional choreographer and dance teacher.  I recently began teaching at an amazing charter school called Imagine Bella Academy in Cleveland, Ohio. The school serves students and families in grades kindergarten through 6th grade.  The dance program is brand new this school year and I am so happy to be starting our students lives in dance.  The room is spacious and has many outlets.  The main problem is that the room has no mirrors.  The one requirement for a dance room, beyond anything else, is mirrors.  In order for any of the students to connect and understand their movement is to see it from another angle.  This is why mirrors are so important in the learning process.  Please help me give these budding dancers a small gift to help them grow!

How kindness jars work is you have to fill a kindness jar with at least 250 pom pom balls. To fill the jar you have to be kind a lot and each kind act earns a pom for the jar. We fill the kind jar at school. Every class is trying to fill their jar by winter break. This is how kindness jars work.
