Sweet summertime is coming to an end, and we soaked up every last splash at our final water day of the season.
It's hard to believe how quickly this summer flew by.

From sprinklers and water tables to lots of laughter and happy little faces, we've loved watching our kiddos make memories and simply enjoy being kids. These are the moments that make summer so special.

Correction: New Parent Orientation at The Academy is tomorrow, Thursday. Not today. Sorry for the mix-up, see you there!

A look back at summer at The Academy!

From swings and bubbles to trips around the world without ever leaving the classroom, it was a season packed with learning, laughing, and good friends.

Now, one more question before the bell rings: have you checked off that school supply list yet?

Here's what's ahead at Easterseals Arkansas this week!

Monday: Reminder, no school this week

🫧 FOAM DAY! Last week the Center for Training and Wellness traded an ordinary afternoon for mountains of suds, and the smiles say everything. Bubbles in the hair, foam beards, and a whole lot of joy. Easily one of the best days of the year.

Thank you to everyone who made a joyful mess with us. 💙
