🎉✏️ And just like that… we made it to the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! ☀️📚
What a year it has been — full of learning, laughter, growth, friendships, unforgettable memories, and so many moments that made this year one for the books! ❤️ We are SO proud of all our amazing students, teachers, and families for everything we accomplished together.
Now it’s time to trade backpacks for beach bags, homework for sunshine, and early alarms for summer adventures! 😎🍉🌴
We hope everyone has a FUN, SAFE, and memory-filled summer break. Enjoy every moment, recharge, make memories, and come back refreshed and ready for another incredible year ahead! 💫
Happy Summer, everyone — WE DID IT! 🎓☀️💙

Field Day at Layton Elementary was one for the books! 🥳 Even though it was chilly outside, that didn’t stop the fun for a second! From bubble machines and water balloon slingshots to bounce houses and dumping buckets of water on the 6th graders 😂 — the excitement never slowed down. Add in some yummy popsicles, lots of laughter, and nonstop smiles, and it’s easy to see why this is one of the most anticipated days of the year. Field Day definitely did NOT disappoint! ❤️💙☀️

The annual 6th Grade vs. Staff kickball game was one for the books! 🥎🔥

Our 6th graders came out swinging, kicking, and RUNNING the bases like pros — dominating their way to an unforgettable 52–5 victory over the staff! 😳👏 The staff may need a few ice packs… and maybe a rematch next year 😂

Absolute MVP behavior from the entire 6th grade class! 💪🥎

And can we talk about the cutest cheering section ever?! 🥹📣 Our younger students brought so much energy and excitement from the sidelines and made the whole event even more fun.

The perfect way to celebrate the end of an amazing school year! 💙☀️

🥚🚁 A FAVORITE is back… the EPIC Egg Drop from the roof!
Our students put their engineering skills to the test as they designed, packed, and protected their eggs for the ultimate challenge: a rooftop drop! 😱🏫 The mission? Keep the egg alive with NO cracks after the big fall! 🥚
From creative cushioning to wild contraptions, students showed off incredible problem-solving, teamwork, and innovation. Some eggs flew, some bounced… and some definitely became breakfast. 😂🍳
Way to go, young engineers! 👏

At Layton Elementary, our admins are truly part of the FOUNDATION of our school. Honestly, the place might crumble without them! 💙 There are not enough words to express how much they do for our students, staff, and families every single day.
✨ Mrs. Teague has been part of the Layton family for years, teaching Kindergarten and 1st grade for 7 years before stepping into administration. She LOVES traveling — especially when it involves watching her kids play soccer ⚽️ — and she is counting down the days until the World Cup this summer! 🌎 She could probably survive on tacos 🌮 and sushi 🍣 alone, and if there’s music or a concert involved, she’s all in! 🎶🎤
⚡ Mr. Campbell is basically the celebrity of recess! The students LOVE when he has time to head out to the playground and join the fun. He’s been in education for 13 years and loves working with the amazing students at Layton. He’s also a huge Harry Potter fan ⚡📚 and enjoys reading, traveling, and bringing energy and positivity everywhere he goes!
We are so lucky to have these two incredible leaders helping make Layton Elementary such a special place every day! 💙💛

🔐✨ Our 6th graders took on the ultimate “middle school mission” at lunch today — the Combination Lock Challenge! From spinning dials to celebrating those click! moments, these students are getting ready for their next big adventure one locker at a time. 🎒💙
It’s hard to believe these amazing kids are almost saying goodbye to elementary school. We’ve watched them grow, learn, laugh, and become leaders — and now they’re ready to unlock a brand new chapter in middle school! 🥹📚

Good luck, future middle schoolers… we know you’re going to do amazing things! 💫

🌋🫧 Do bubbles come out of volcanoes?! 🤔 After some research, our students decided… probably not — but wouldn’t that be AWESOME?! 😄 This week, our students took on TWO exciting science projects! 🌟 First, they learned all about volcanoes and even built their own erupting models. 🌋💥 Then, they switched gears and experimented with bubble solutions, testing which mixtures made the best bubbles while learning about surface tension. 🫧🔬 From explosive eruptions to floating bubbles, our students had so much fun exploring science through hands-on learning and creativity!

🎨✨ What an amazing night at our Afterschool Extravaganza! ✨🍽️
Our students proudly showcased their creativity through incredible artwork, and it was so special to see families come together to celebrate their hard work and talent. From colorful masterpieces to smiling faces around the dinner table, the evening was full of fun, connection, and community spirit. 💛
A huge thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make the night such a success. We loved sharing this memorable evening with you!
