🚗🗺️ Happy National Take a Road Trip Day! 🌞

Adventure is calling, and summer is the perfect time to answer! Whether you're heading to the beach, exploring the mountains, visiting family, or discovering a new hometown gem, every road trip is a chance to make lasting memories.

At Matthews Charter, we know that learning doesn't stop when the final bell rings. Every journey offers new experiences, new places to explore, and new stories to share. We encourage our scholars to stay curious, ask questions, and enjoy the adventure wherever the road leads.

Today we celebrate National Edison Day and the spirit of innovation, creativity, and discovery! 💡

At our Matthews Charter, our scholars are encouraged to think big, ask questions, and explore new ideas every day—just like Thomas Edison. From science experiments to creative problem-solving in the classroom, learning happens through curiosity and perseverance.

“The value of an idea lies in the using of it.” – Thomas Edison

Happy National Edison Day to all of our bright scholars, dedicated educators, and families who inspire learning and innovation each day!

🌊☀️🌺 Our Matthews Charter students absolutely shined during their performance of Moana! From the music to the acting, the talent on stage was incredible, and everyone had an amazing time celebrating all of their hard work.

We are so proud of our talented students! ✨

Our fifth graders had an amazing time continuing our yearly tradition at Camp Thunderbird! Over the course of the trip, scholars stepped outside their comfort zones, built stronger friendships, and created memories they will never forget.

Students explored a variety of hands-on learning experiences including Nature Art, Aquatic Ecology, Pioneer Life, and Wildlife Ecology. They enjoyed canoeing on the lake, participating in team-building challenges, and competing in the always-fun Wacky Olympics. Evenings were filled with campfires, skits, Liars Club, and of course, s’mores shared with friends and teachers. From outdoor adventures to meaningful learning experiences, our scholars embraced every opportunity to learn, lead, and have fun together.

A huge shout out goes to our incredible chaperones who not only attended, but fully participated in the activities alongside our scholars. Whether they were cheering students on, joining in the games, helping during activities, or making everyone laugh during evening events, they helped create a memorable and meaningful experience for every child. We are so grateful for the time, energy, and care they poured into making Camp Thunderbird 2026 such a success! 🌲🛶🔥

8th graders had a great trip to Sports Connection! 👾 🎳

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms, grandmothers, caregivers, and mother figures across the National Heritage Academies community, along with the teachers and staff members who support and inspire students each day! 💐

Thank you for the care, encouragement, and dedication you bring to our schools and communities. Today, we celebrate the many ways you make a lasting impact both in and out of the classroom. 💚

Fantastic April Staff Luncheon hosted by our 3rd through 5th grade families at Matthews Charter!
