🎉 WE ARE AN IMPACT 100 FINALIST! 🎉
Huge news! We are beyond honored and grateful that Impact 100 Pensacola Bay Area has selected Umbrella Learning Academy as a 2026 Grant Finalist!
We can’t wait to present our project—"The Regulation Station"—to the full membership at the annual meeting on "Million Dollar Sunday" this October!
This custom, 100% inclusive indoor play structure and sensory lab will transform play in Pensacola:
✨ For Our Students: A vital sensory lab during the school day to help ALL students regulate, learn, and gain vocational skills.
✨ For Pensacola Families: A safe, climate-controlled play haven for weekend play, birthday parties, and community events.
Weekend play and events will keep this space self-sustaining for years to come.
Thank you, Impact 100, for this opportunity to share our vision for inclusion! We look forward to October! 💙

🎉✨ The wait is over… our 2026 IMPACT 100 Grant Finalists are HERE! ✨🎉

And this year, we’re making IMPACT history! For the first time ever, 20 outstanding nonprofits—4 from each of our 5 Focus Areas—are advancing to Million Dollar Sunday! 💙

A HUGE thank you to every nonprofit that applied and shared their vision with us, and to our dedicated Focus Area Committee members who spent their summer reviewing applications, conducting site visits, and thoughtfully selecting this year’s finalists. 🙌

Next stop: Million Dollar Sunday on October 11, when our Members will hear from all 20 Finalists and select 13 Grant Recipients to receive a total of $1.313 MILLION! 🌟

Congratulations to all of our 2026 Grant Finalists—we can’t wait to share your stories!

Goodnight Summer☀️
In the quiet rooms and the polished hall,
Goodnight whiteboards, goodnight wall.
Goodnight desks and goodnight chairs,
Goodnight books we soon will share.
Goodnight lunchbox by the door,
Goodnight shadows on the floor.
Goodnight calm before the day,
When happy voices come to play.
Goodnight pencils, goodnight dreams,
Goodnight to our future themes.
Sleep well, Umbrella Learning Academy stars,
Tomorrow we discover just how bright you are!
Sleep tight tonight!

We can't wait to welcome all of our wonderful Umbrella Learning Academy students tomorrow morning! Reminder that it is a Half Day from 8:30-12:00. 💜☂️💜
