🐾💙 Our Bulldogs Are Back!💙🐾

Today we officially welcomed our Bulldogs back into the building for the first day of the 2026–2027 school year!🎉

We loved seeing all the smiles this morning, whether it was a student walking through our doors for the very first time or one of our returning Bulldogs coming back for another great year. It was especially wonderful getting to see and greet our families again!

Today was all about learning new routines, getting settled into classrooms, making new friends, reconnecting with old ones, and starting the year off with lots of smiles. 🐾❤️

We are incredibly thankful for our amazing team of teachers and staff who truly love our students, believe in them, and love what they do each and every day.

It was a GREAT first day, and we cannot wait to see all the learning, friendships, growth, memories, and fun this school year will bring!

Here’s to an amazing 2026–2027 school year at Thrive Academy!💙🐾📚

Looking forward to seeing our students this Monday, August 10th!

✨Open House 2026-27✨

Tonight, we had our Open House, and we absolutely loved seeing our students! It was so special watching them meet their teachers, reconnect with friends, and explore their classrooms and school space.

We are so excited for the wonderful year ahead and cannot wait to get to know all of our new students and families. It was truly a great night, and we are so grateful to have our Thrive family back together! 💙🐾

A huge thank you again to Dolphin Boatlifts for sponsoring our staff lunch outing today! We are so happy to be back and excited to welcome two incredible new teachers to our Thrive team. 💙

Our staff spent the day adjusting furniture, organizing classrooms, and getting everything ready for Open House on Thursday. We cannot wait to see our returning students, welcome our new families, and begin another amazing school year filled with learning, growth, and so many new students to love!
