Destination Imagination Program
Calling all innovative students looking for an opportunity to have fun and learn new skills as a team! My name is Lisa Matta and I am the Elm School Destination Imagination Coordinator. I am very excited to have this program at Elm School again this year!
For those who are not familiar, Destination Imagination (DI) is a team-based, after school, creative problem-solving competition rooted in STEAM. Students work in teams to create a solution to a Challenge. The program is guided by parent volunteers (Team Managers) but is student lead --- meaning the end solution to the challenge and all decisions along the way must be made by the kids!
We need parent volunteers to make this possible for the kids, so please strongly consider assisting.
If you are already familiar with DI or have heard enough and are ready to sign up your child, please do so via the link below. We are asking all to sign-up below (unless you already did so at the Ice Cream Social). This will ensure we have parental permission for all students as well as the correct contact information for all who are interested.
Sign-Up Link for Students (deadline to sign-up is October 6th):

Once we have enough team managers and students, we will form teams and contact you with additional information. If you have any questions on the DI program or would like to make any specific requests, please feel free to reach out to me directly at di@elmschoolpto.org. I participated in this program as a student many years ago and have also been a team manager for 3+ years so I have lots of information to share! I am looking forward to a great DI year full of fun and learning for our students!
