The Class of 2026 Senior Walk 🎓✨

The Class of 2026 returned to where it all began for their traditional elementary school walkthrough.

Watching these seniors walk the same hallways they used to walk through as wide-eyed kids was a full-circle moment. Our elementary students lined the hallways and cheered the graduates on. It was incredibly heartwarming to see the joy, nostalgia, and community spirit fill the air.

Once a Stallion, Always a Stallion!!! Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Congratulations to our 5th Graders!!!

What a magical couple of days! Our students put on an incredible Disney-themed performance last Thursday night for parents, and followed it up with a spectacular Friday morning show for the whole school.

A massive round of applause to our amazing performers and crew for bringing the magic of Disney to our stage! 🎬🎤✨

The 16th Annual Sommer Flugtag Competition was an absolute blast! 🚀

Here is the recap of today’s high-flying (and sometimes high-crashing) festivities:

✈️ The Challenge
Inspired by the legendary Red Bull Flugtag, our students spent the last week engineering flying apparatuses using nothing but recycled materials. We saw some incredible creativity involving:

🏫 Leading from the Top
A massive shout-out to our amazing principal, Ms. Elarms, who took "leading from the top" literally! Braving the heights, our principal climbed up to the roof to personally launch every single student-made device. The energy on the ground was electric as the entire student body watched, cheered, and held their breath to see which designs would soar and which would... gracefully find the ground.

🏆 The Results
From milk carton biplanes to wrapping paper gliders, we saw some impressive aerodynamics today. Whether they flew across the lawn or took a vertical dive, the spirit of innovation was the real winner.

Check out the images to see how much fun the students had!

Upcycling for a Great Cause! ♻️💰

Our brilliant 3rd-graders just wrapped up their Economics Fair, and we couldn't be prouder. These young entrepreneurs spent weeks transforming recycled materials into high-quality "upcycled" products.

The students learned firsthand about production costs, supply and demand, and marketing. But the best part? Every cent raised from the fair is being donated to the Round Rock Serving Center to help our neighbors in need.

🐎 Giddy Up, Sommer Elementary! 🐎
Our 4th Graders took a trip back to the Wild West today for our annual Western Week!

🌵 Today’s Highlights:
The Morning Rodeo: Students kicked things off with Western relay races!

The Afternoon Round-Up: We headed outside for outdoor stations, testing our skills at various western-themed challenges.

The Cookout: Students sat outside for lunch and enjoyed their grub under the Texas sky!

It’s been an unforgettable week. We are bursting with pride over the Texas-sized participation from our 4th-grade wranglers!

🌟 Inspiring Future Leaders: Career Day 2026! 🌟
What do you want to be when you grow up? Our students got a front-row seat to the answer this morning!

On Friday, May 1st, our campus was buzzing with ambition and curiosity for our annual Career Day. From the cafeteria to the classrooms, our community came together to show our students that the possibilities for their futures are truly endless.

❤️ A Huge Thank You!
To the parents and community partners who took time out of their busy schedules to inspire our students: THANK YOU. You aren't just sharing your jobs; you're helping our kids dream bigger.

We had an incredible time hosting our Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten Roundup this past April 29th! It was wonderful to see so many new faces and feel the energy of our incoming students and their families.

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the nerves (parents and kids alike!) to come meet our teachers and explore the classrooms. We are officially counting down the days until the first day of school!

Welcome to the family, Class of 2038 & 2039! ✨
