☀️ That’s a wrap on Summer School! 🚌🎉

From primary adventures to high school milestones, our summer programs were a massive success! Here’s a quick look at how some of our students and staff have spent their break:

🎨 Elementary & Intermediate (K–6)
Around 150 K–6 students joined us to keep their skills sharp and their spirits high!

Students focused on boosting grade-level Reading, Writing, and Math skills.

They participated in awesome field trips to the local library, museum, fire department, and Oasis Park! 🚒📚🌳

Students had fun and showed off their style on themed days like Tropical Tuesday and Disney Day. 🌴🏰

🎓 High School (Grades 9–12)
Several high schoolers put in the hard work this summer to recover credits and stay right on track toward graduation! We are so proud of their dedication. 💪

🥪 Healthy breakfast and lunch were served daily, and transportation was provided to make sure everyone got to join in on the learning!

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing students, teachers, and staff who made this summer both educational and unforgettable. 🍎✨
