From their very first walk to their very last 💛

Last Thursday, our kindergartners got to walk the halls hand-in-hand with our high school seniors — two classes, one beautiful full-circle moment. The seniors are stepping into what's next, and our littlest learners got a glimpse of just how far this journey goes.

And then? Our kindergartners headed straight to their own graduation, caps and all. ✨

From their first cap to their last — this is the Life School story. 🎓

📚🏆 What a finish! Last Monday, three incredible teams from 4th and 6th grade went head-to-head in the FINAL round of Battle of the Books! 🎉

These dedicated students kicked things off by reading 20 books, then put their knowledge to the test by answering questions based on every story they devoured. The level of focus, teamwork, and bookish brilliance was off the charts! 🤩📖

And after an intense battle of wits… our 4th-grade team took home the championship! 🥇✨ Congratulations to all the readers who competed — you've shown what happens when curiosity meets commitment.

A huge THANK YOU to Dr. Scott Clinton with Waxahachie Family Dentistry, Gary Barks with Wallco Retaining Walls, and Jennifer Reed with GEICO DeSoto! 🙌💙 Your generous support made this event possible and helps grow lifelong readers.

Reading isn't just a school subject here at Life School — it's a superpower. 💪📚

As part of their Life Habits lessons, students in Mrs. Wolverton and Mrs. Camp’s fifth grade homerooms created a service project to support children in foster care. After brainstorming ideas, the students voted to partner with TBHC in Waxahachie to collect donations for children in need.

Mrs. Miller, an LSRO parent, and Mr. Arthur from TBHC visited to accept the donations and share how the students are helping “light the path” for others. Each class received a certificate and flashlight to remind them that their kindness can make a difference.

We are so proud of these students for showing compassion and social awareness while making an impact in the lives of others!

🍩 Donuts with Grownups was a huge success! 💙
We loved seeing all the amazing grownups who play such an important role in our students’ lives. Thank you for taking the time to come and make special memories with your students! 🐴✨
