story of Alimacani as written |
Alimacani opened its doors for the first
time to students in
August 1990. Alimacani
is a Timucuan Indian word which is
translated to mean "sweet land by the sea."
A most appropriate name since the school is
located on the Intracoastal Waterway. When
Ribault landed in 1562, he was greeted by Timucuan
Indians from the Village of Alimacani. The sun and moon still
light the
land but their worshippers are gone. Their
heritage has been preserved through Alimacani Elementary School and it is
our
legacy to future generations.
Each Alimacani Family Member shares a common
thread woven throughout our hearts. That
thread is to ensure that Alimacani's vision
of providing an environment
Where
Education Is A
Treasure And Children Are
Inspired To Reach For Their
Dreams
is embraced daily.
We refer to ourselves as the Alimacani
Family. This is not by accident or in words
only. We are a family due to the culture
that Mrs. Donna Hulsey established as she
prepared the soil
for the growth of each
child, staff member, parent, and stake
holder.
Mrs. Hulsey
started the first Flag Raising Ceremony at
Alimacani. Mrs. Pam Rogers followed Mrs.
Hulsey as Principal of Alimacani
and
lovingly continued the patriotic thread that
holds our school and nation together.
Now, Ms. Kathy Stalls, joyfully embraces
those values that strive to touch the heart
and reach the soul
of each learner.
The heart of each celebration at Alimacani
does not just consist
of adult preparations,
skits, dress-ups, and readings, but its cup
overflows with student anticipation,
excitement, and active engagement.
The gift of tradition is encased in each
heart that vibrates the
halls of Alimacani
and is so lovingly carried forth each day by
our children, staff, administration, and
stakeholders. Our task
is to accept this
gift each day with purposeful resolve, to
celebrate it and to ensure that we will live
into this precious gift.
