PTO Unveils School Mascot at Meeting

The students at Imagine Andrews have just earned their wings and are ready to soar. No, they haven’t gotten their pilot’s licenses (not yet, at least). But they have been given something to screech about, thanks to the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO). At its meeting on October 25th, the PTO unveiled the school’s new mascot. We are now the Imagine Andrews Eagles! More details about the mascot will be forthcoming, according to members of the PTO.
