🐾🌄 FLAT PERCY’S SUMMER ADVENTURE UPDATE! 🌄🐾

Look where Percy wandered this week… Arches & Canyonlands National Parks in Utah! 🏜️☀️

Percy explored towering red rock formations, breathtaking canyons, and some of the most incredible landscapes in the country.🌟

🤔 Percy’s Fun Fact:
Did you know Arches National Park has more than 2,000 natural stone arches? That’s more arches than anywhere else in the world! Some took millions of years to form from wind, water, and changing temperatures.

🏞️ And at Canyonlands National Park, you can stand high above giant canyons carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers over millions of years!

📸 Where will Percy go next? Keep sending us photos of your summer adventures—whether you’re exploring a national park, visiting a local playground, cheering at a baseball game, or enjoying your own backyard

☀️ Yesterday was all about Field Day fun, and today we wrap up an incredible school year! 🎉💦

Our Traut students had a blast celebrating with water, games, laughter, and so many fun memories yesterday. Today marks the last day of school, and while we’ll miss seeing these amazing students each day, we hope they head into summer ready for adventures, sunshine, and lots of fun.

Have an amazing summer, Wolverines! 🐾💙💛

🎓✨ Leaving a Legacy at Traut ✨🎓
The Traut Class of 2025–26 is making a lasting impact before they move on! As their fifth-grade legacy project, students gave back to the Traut Media Center by painting 450 brand-new wooden sticks and storage boxes that will be used by students for years to come.
This special project reflects the character, creativity, and community spirit that this class has demonstrated throughout their time at Traut. Their colorful contribution will serve as a reminder of the positive legacy they leave behind and the many ways they have helped make our school a better place.
Thank you, 5th graders, for leaving your mark on Traut in such a meaningful way! 💙📚🎨

Friday, we celebrated our incredible 5th grade graduates! 🎓✨ This class began their kindergarten journey during one of the most unique times in history—the start of COVID—and now they’re walking across the stage as graduates. Watching how much they’ve grown, learned, and persevered has been truly amazing.

We are so proud of each and every one of these students and can’t wait to see all the ways they’ll thrive in middle school and beyond. Once a Wolverine, always a Wolverine! 💙
