Rain, mud, and a little summer mess were no match for our amazing Embers dads! ☔️💪

This past Saturday, Aldo D., Patrick C., Eric W., and Tony E. gathered at Embers for Part 2 of our Outdoor Enhancements Project 🛝🌱

Together, they installed five rock-formation benches in three locations throughout our green space 🪨🌳🌸

These new additions will give teachers and parents a comfortable place to sit while watching the children. Many Embers families enjoy staying after school so their kids can play while parents catch up, get to know one another, and build deeper friendships and bonds throughout our community. It’s truly a special part of our school 💛

And some of our Sparks have already tested and approved them for play!

We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication to making Embers even more beautiful for our community✨

Do you know why our students are called the Embers Sparks?

Inspired by the words of St. Josemaría Escrivá, the name reflects our hope that every child will grow into a bright little spark, ready to bring light, warmth and goodness to others.

Through faith, knowledge and virtue, we help each student discover and strengthen the unique gifts God has placed within them.

That’s what it means to be an Embers Spark ✨

At Embers Academy, we believe parents are the primary educators of their children. That’s why we strive to build strong relationships with families, creating a partnership that supports each child’s academic, spiritual, and personal growth. When parents and teachers work together, children thrive. From daily classroom experiences, parent meet-ups, to character formation and faith development, our goal is to walk alongside parents in forming students in virtue ✝️
