Are you looking for an after-school activity that allows students to design, build, write and act in a creative environment? If so, you should consider joining Destination Imagination. Destination Imagination is a creative problem solving competition where teams of up to 7 members solve long-term challenges in one of six categories.
Groups meet after school ONE DAY A WEEK and some weekends for building sets and props.
Families NEW to the DI program must attend a required meeting from 6:00-7:00 in room 21 at West Mercer. Parents can attend on either Monday, September 21st or Tuesday, September 22nd.
If you have any questions please contact Mr. Baxter at West Mercer elementary school.
