A huge thank you to Amber Staten and the Health Department for visiting our summer camp today! Our students had a wonderful time learning and practicing different yoga poses while discovering the importance of movement, flexibility, and healthy habits.
Experiences like these help our campers stay active, build confidence, and learn new ways to care for their minds and bodies. We appreciate our community partners for taking the time to invest in our students and make summer camp both educational and fun!
Summer Camp rising K has started their week with learning about the letter Aa. They have enjoyed many activities to learn including: reading "There’s An Alligator Under My Bed", making an alligator using the letter A, sorting objects that begin with the letter A, and painting rocks with objects that begin with A!
Learning doesn't stop when the books close! Our summer camp students are having a great time building friendships, practicing teamwork, and keeping their minds active through games, puzzles, LEGO creations, UNO, and more!
These activities help students strengthen problem-solving skills, creativity, communication, and critical thinking—all while having fun with friends.
We are proud of the hard work and positive attitudes our students are bringing to summer school each day!
We are thankful to have Roar and Soar Tutors working with students this summer!

Our rising first graders had an exciting day at summer camp as they explored the world of airplanes and learned what helps them soar through the sky. They followed the steps to assemble their foam gliders to fly and race against each other. Then, they became engineers and designed their own paper airplane to test fly and race! Days like this remind us how much joy there is in learning through play!
