Expeditionary Learning in Action!

At AXL, learning extends far beyond the classroom. During a recent fieldwork experience, our scholars visited the [Morrison Nature Center](https://www.auroragov.org/things_to_do/parks__open_space___trails/nature___open_space/nature_centers/morrison_nature_center), where they explored the connection between nature and mental health.

Students learned how spending time outdoors can help reduce stress, improve our mood, and support our overall well-being. Experiences like this give our scholars the opportunity to connect classroom learning with the world around them in meaningful and memorable ways.

This is what Expeditionary Learning at AXL is all about: exploring, experiencing, and growing!

Our 7th-grade Health scholars recently took their learning beyond the classroom with a visit to Bodies: The Science Within at the Denver Pavilions!

Students explored the fascinating inner workings of the human body and gained a deeper understanding of anatomy, health, and how our body systems work together. This memorable experience brought their classroom lessons to life and gave our scholars an exciting new way to learn.

We love seeing our scholars explore, ask questions, and discover the science within! Learn more about the exhibit.

Tonight is Coffee & Conversations at AXL Academy

AXL families, your voice matters!

Join our Executive Director and Principal for Coffee & Conversations, a relaxed opportunity to connect with school leadership, learn more about what’s happening at AXL, ask questions, and share your feedback.

Thursday, September 10
5:30–6:30 PM
AXL Academy

We’ll be discussing:

SMARTLAB
Discover how scholars will engage in hands-on technology, design, VR and 3D learning, robotics, and creative problem-solving.

Our New Playground
Learn more about our new play space and how it supports movement, wellness, and community.

Standards-Based Grading
Learn how standards-based grading provides clearer communication about what scholars know, what they can do, and what they are still learning.

We’ll also leave time for open questions and family feedback. This is your opportunity to connect directly with AXL leadership, share your thoughts, and be part of the conversation about our school.

Bring your questions. Share your ideas. We’ll bring the coffee!

Somewhere over the rainbow… you’ll find AXL Academy.

After the rain comes something beautiful and today, it just happened to land right over our school.

We’ll take that as a little reminder that bright things are happening at AXL every day.

Here’s to learning, growing, exploring, and finding a little magic along the way.

Parent Tip Tuesday

Fuel learning with a healthy lunch.

A nutritious lunch does more than satisfy hunger. It gives students the energy they need to stay focused, participate in class, and finish the school day strong.

When packing your child's lunch, aim for a balanced meal that includes:

• Protein to help keep them full, such as turkey, chicken, cheese, yogurt, eggs, or hummus.
• Whole grains like whole wheat bread, crackers, tortillas, or brown rice for lasting energy.
• Fruits and vegetables to provide vitamins and nutrients that support healthy growth and learning.
• Water to keep them hydrated and ready to learn throughout the day.

Want to make lunchtime more exciting? Let your child help choose healthy foods while you're grocery shopping or involve them in packing their lunch. When children have a say in what's packed, they're more likely to eat and enjoy it.

Small changes can make a big difference. Try adding a colorful fruit, cutting sandwiches into fun shapes, or including a kind note to brighten their day.

Healthy habits at home help students thrive in the classroom, and every nutritious lunch is another step toward a successful school day.

At AXL Academy, we know that healthy minds start with healthy choices.

Engage. Empower. Achieve.
