The Lead School in St. Peter's

This week marked the start of our Summer Session, and the days have been flying by! With our shorter schedule and a variety of engaging activities, students have stayed active, connected, and excited to learn.

So far, students have enjoyed biking, additional fitness classes, structured and cooperative play, STEM activities, and more. We are thrilled to offer new classes and electives this summer, including Boxing, CPR & First Aid, Automotive Maintenance, Mythology, and Personal Finance, along with dedicated credit recovery opportunities.

Thursday kicked off our summer events with a fun and competitive Kickball Tournament, and on Friday we welcomed our first guest speaker, Kim Mertz, a retired mechanic. Students were engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and enjoyed learning from his experiences.

We are also excited to welcome Mr. Donald, Ms. Angie, and Ms. Cassie to our team for the summer!

We look forward to our upcoming weekly events, guest speakers, and all the opportunities ahead. Check out our staff and students in action! 🤾🚲🎨🥊🏃☀️🏀🧩💚

It’s break time! ☀️ We hope everyone has an amazing, fun-filled break and takes time to relax and recharge. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for the start of summer session on June 1st! 💚🎉

Take a look at some fun highlights from the past few weeks! After working so hard during testing, our students have been enjoying some well-deserved fun with arts and crafts, trying yummy snacks, participating in special social groups and extra recess time. We love seeing our students learn, grow, building connections and enjoy time with one another!

This past Friday, we had the wonderful opportunity to watch our Class of 2026 graduates, Aiden and Jeremy, walk across the stage. We are so proud of the young men they have become and honored to have been part of their journey. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things their future holds. We thank them for all the joy and memories the two have brought to The Lead School over the years. Congratulations, Aiden and Jeremy! 🎓💚

Happy Administrative Assistant Day to the one who keeps everything running behind the scenes-Mrs. Kim!

From the moment the doors open to the final bell, she’s the heartbeat of our building.

Whether it’s supporting staff, helping students, or keeping our systems moving, she does it all with care, consistency, and a smile.

We truly couldn’t do what we do without her. Our school is better because of you, we appreciate you more than words can say! 💚
