Alexander Dawson School at Rainbow Mountain

First week down and officially settled in! If week one taught us anything, it’s that real learning isn’t just about finding the right answers—it’s about staying curious, questioning assumptions, and being willing to Think Again. Minds are open, momentum is building, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. 🧠✨

Welcome back Dawson Bears! ✨

Our entire staff has been gearing up, getting ready, and waiting to welcome you home! A new school year means new memories, big goals, and endless possibilities, and we are so excited to tackle it all together!

Bring your best energy, set your sights high, and let’s start this year off stronger than ever! We’ve missed you, Bears—let’s make it an incredible year! 🐻🌟

🎉 AND THAT’S A WRAP! 🎉

Summer Camp has officially come to a close, and WOW—what an absolutely incredible summer it’s been! ☀️🔥

We saw SO much learning, massive growth, and most importantly… UNMATCHED FUN! 🚀✨ Thank you to every single one of you who brought the energy and made this camp so special. We are beyond thrilled that so many of you got to participate and share these unforgettable memories with us! 🙌

We are already hyped for next Summer Camp and cannot WAIT to see you all back here next year! 🏕️💛

But for now… the official countdown to the school year begins! 🎒⏰ Let’s carry this epic summer energy straight into the classroom!

Taking our code off the screen and into the real world! 🚀 Our Dawson Software Engineering campers had an amazing time touring the different areas of the UNLV Makerspace last week. Just like software engineers write code to build digital tools and solve complex problems, spaces like this allow creators to build and test physical tech. Seeing the hardware side of innovation up close was an absolute blast. It was so great—thank you UNLV for hosting us and inspiring our future developers! ⚙️👩‍💻👨‍💻✨

Order in the court! ⚖️ Our 5th-8th graders just wrapped up an incredible week at our Career Academy Summer Camp for the Law & Advocacy track!

These students took their learning beyond the classroom with an unforgettable field trip to the Nevada Supreme Court and the State Court. 🏛️ They even had the exclusive opportunity to sit down with our local judge to discuss exactly what happens behind the bench and learn the ins and outs of the courtroom! 🧑‍⚖️💼

What a fantastic, hands-on experience for our future lawmakers and advocates! We can't wait to see the impact these bright young minds will make on the world. 🌟

Summer is the perfect time to reflect on our students' incredible progress, and the leaps they make in our language departments always blow us away! 🌍💬

Our students work throughout the year to end up building a one-day café! It’s the ultimate test of their skills and full immersion: everyone must speak the target language as they greet guests, read menus, take orders, serve food, and chat with friends over their meals. ☕️🥐

It is absolutely amazing to see the growth these students have made and watch their hard work come to life. Here is a look back at our French class’s fabulous "Soleil Café" from this past year! ✨🇫🇷 We couldn't be prouder!
