Graduation season is here, and one of our favorite traditions takes place at Fox Tech! ππ¦
One of the school's most time-honored traditions is the Staff and Teacher Clap Out. Before the ceremony begins, our graduates take one final walk through the halls and around the school, surrounded by the staff and teachers who have supported them every step of the way. As they make their way to graduation, they are cheered on and celebrated by the people who helped make this milestone possible.
It's a simple tradition, but one filled with pride, encouragement, and a reminder that our students will always have a place in the Fox Tech family.

I stopped by Menta Academy North's Open House to learn more about their programming. It was impressive to see social-emotional learning activities seamlessly integrated throughout the school, all designed to help students manage their emotions, practice empathy, set goals, and make responsible decisions. I am always deeply grateful for the dedicated educators at local schools who put their whole hearts into shaping young minds.

Another big event checked off the school calendar! Students from across the area came together at Menta Academy Midway for a day full of fun, laughter, and friendly competition during Field Day!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this amazing day possible!
