Ringing in the summer 🔔🇺🇸☀️
That’s a wrap on KA 2025–2026!
What an incredible year it’s been...and incredibly fast too!
And we know, we know, we know...we use the word “grateful” a lot in our posts. But truthfully, it’s the word that continued to sit in our hearts week after week.
Grateful for the families who trust us and for the community members who welcomed us. Grateful for the neighbors, grandparents, farmers, business owners, volunteers, friends, and familiar faces who played a role in these kids’ lives in ways that may have seemed small, but were actually incredibly grand.
Some small things to highlight!
💙 65+ excursions & immersions
💚 350+ hours spent outside learning and living
💙 New friendships, new partnerships, and a growing reach into our community
💚 Countless memories we hope these kids will carry long after the final bell
Like the song says, maybe “dreaming small” is really about remembering that the little things often are the big things:
A genuine conversation.
A shared meal.
A muddy pair of hands and feet.
A teacher who cared.
A childhood rooted well.
As you enter your summer, don't buy the lie you have to do it all. It's the simplest of things done with the greatest love that leave the biggest impact.
And don't worry! We'll be seeing you throughout the summer as we sprinkle in a few updates and share exciting things ahead for KA!
Until then, from ours to yours, sending you a hug, hand shake, fist bump, high five, happy-dance all full of gratitude for following us along this year. Wishing you all things good as you step into summer.
God is good.
We’ll see you at the bell in the fall. – KA 💙💚
