🐢💚 Turtle-ly Awesome Achievement! 💚🐢

We are celebrating our amazing 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students who earned a Level 5 on one or more FAST Assessments! 🎉

These high achievers were recognized with a turtle-ly awesome yard sign, and we LOVE seeing their smiling faces next to them! 📸✨

We honored over 75 students for their dedication, perseverance, and academic excellence… how amazing is that?! 🙌

Report Cards will be available in the parent portal Thursday, June 11th at 10am.

Lake Myrtle Elementary is projected to earn an “A” school grade for 2025–2026! 🎉

We’re anxiously awaiting the final results from the state, but we are already so proud of our students, staff, and families. 💙 Your dedication and perseverance have made this possible!

It is wonderful to be part of such an amazing community! ✨

✨ Honoring a Legacy of Love, Dedication, and Service ✨

Today, we celebrate a remarkable group of educators whose impact on our school community will be felt for generations to come. After years & years of pouring their hearts into our students, they are stepping into a well-earned retirement.

To our retirees: Joanne Maggi, Lori Folsom, Tanji Coats, Lisa Simonton, and Teresa Rowand- Thank You! 💙

Thank you for the early mornings, the late afternoons, and the countless moments in between. Thank you for believing in every child who walked through your door, for encouraging them when they struggled, and for celebrating their successes—big and small.
Your passion, patience, and unwavering commitment have helped shape not only academic growth, but the character and confidence of so many young lives. 💙

The legacy you leave behind is not just in lesson plans or test scores, but in the relationships you built, the smiles you created, and the difference you made every single day. Our school is better because of you. 💙

As you step into this next chapter, we hope your days are filled with joy, rest, adventure, and all the things you’ve poured into others coming back to you tenfold. While you may be retiring from your role, you will always remain an important part of our school family.
With deep gratitude and admiration, we celebrate you and wish you nothing but the very best in this exciting new journey. 💙

💦🎉 Celebrating Our Turtles! 🎉💦

More of our amazing Turtles wrapped up the year in the best way possible—with a fantastic Water Day and Cookout Celebration! 🌭🌊

These students have shown incredible perseverance, growth, and heart all year long. We are so proud of the progress they’ve made and the determination they’ve shown every single day. 💙

The smiles, laughter, and pure joy shared during this celebration were unforgettable as students enjoyed the day alongside their incredible teachers and support staff who cheer them on every step of the way. 🌟

What a wonderful way to celebrate a year full of success—we couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of you! 👏🐢

🎉✨ Celebrating Our 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony! ✨🎉

What a beautiful and memorable day at Lake Myrtle! Our 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony was filled with joy, pride, and a little bit of magic as families joined us to celebrate this important milestone. 💙

One of our favorite traditions—the 5th grade clap out—was truly unforgettable. Watching our students walk the halls one last time, surrounded by cheers and encouragement, reminded us all just how far they’ve come. 👏🐢

A highlight of the day was welcoming back our former Lake Myrtle Turtle students who are now graduating high school. Seeing them return in their caps and gowns, walking the same halls where their journeys began, was incredibly special. There’s something truly magical about watching them come full circle. 🎓✨

Congratulations to our 5th graders and our high school graduates! We are so proud of you and wish you a future full of love, adventure, and endless possibilities. 💫

Once a Turtle, Always a Turtle! 💙🐢
