MADE Houston

This past Friday, we were honored to host a farewell ceremony for our 8th-grade graduates and celebrate the achievements of all students this year. We had a remarkable year and appreciate everyone's contributions. We look forward to reconnecting with everyone after the summer and welcoming new students. Have a great summer and we will see you all in August!

The moment to compete has finally arrived, rain or shine!

After months of rigorous training, our students finally had the opportunity to showcase their skills and compete in the annual Olympic Games. They participated in both individual and team sports, demonstrating their hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship throughout the training process and final competitions. We are extremely proud of the progress they have achieved in the various sports.

Today our younger students stayed after school for a color war! They played capture the flag, had a water balloon fight, and enjoyed pizza for dinner. A fun time was had by all!

More pictures from our upper school graduation party! It was a memorable evening and we loved having everyone join us to start celebrating the end of a great year!

So much fun tonight at our Upper School Graduation Party! Loved seeing old friends and ending our year filled with joy, laughter, and a few tears as we say goodbye. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it, we miss those of you who couldn’t, and look forward to what the new year will bring!

Some teachers do more than teach—they help students see themselves in a new light and discover gifts they didn’t know they had. Last week, we had the special opportunity to honor Ms. Greta. From the very beginning, she has been an essential part of our MADE Houston family. With her remarkable talent and warm spirit, she helped make our school a brighter, more joyful place—one where every student felt welcomed, supported, and brave enough to try. Whether she was guiding us in art or teaching ELA and Social Studies, Ms. Greta showed us that there isn’t always just one “right” answer. She reminded us that mistakes can be transformed into something beautiful. Because of her steady encouragement, students who once believed they were “not good at art” began to participate with confidence and take creative risks.

Although we see her less often now that she is enjoying a well-deserved retirement, we feel her influence every day in our classrooms, our hallways, and in the confidence of our students. When we expanded MADE Houston, it felt only fitting to dedicate a room to the one and only Ms. Greta—a lasting tribute to all she has given our community. We look forward to the creativity, courage, and talent future students will continue to discover in “Ms. Greta’s Art Room.”

Yesterday we held our first annual Recycled Runway Show to celebrate Earth Day! Students were challenged to come up with creative and functional attire using recycled materials. They went all out and looked fabulous!

We all had an amazing time at Camp For All this past week! Thank you to everyone for making it another great experience for all our students! This is one of our favorite traditions, and the students love trying new things, challenging themselves to achieve new goals, and creating amazing memories each year. We can't wait for next year!

Testing week is nearly upon us!! Of course the Jellybeans needed to make the last day of prep fun with a Glow Day test review!
