🎓✨ **College Exploration in Action!**

Divine Academy students had an exciting opportunity to visit **Beacon College**! Our students were able to step onto a college campus, explore the college experience, and learn more about the opportunities that higher education can offer.

Experiences like these allow our students to begin thinking about their futures, asking questions, setting goals, and seeing firsthand that there are many pathways available after graduation.

A special thank you to **Beacon College** for welcoming our students and providing them with a meaningful and informative experience. 💜💛

At Divine Academy, we’re not just preparing students for the next grade—we’re helping them prepare for what comes next!

There’s nothing quite like the love, wisdom, and encouragement of a grandparent! 🥰

Divine Academy was honored to welcome our wonderful grandparents for a special **Grandparents Day Visit**. Our students were so excited to share a little piece of their school day with some of the people who mean the most to them.

Thank you to every grandparent and special guest who took the time to visit, celebrate, and make beautiful memories with our students. Your presence made the day extra special! 💐

We are grateful for the generations of love, faith, wisdom, and support that help shape our Divine Academy students.

Our elementary students are adding a little COLOR to their Spanish lessons! ❤️💙💛💚

Students had fun learning and practicing the names of colors in Spanish—from **rojo** and **azul** to **amarillo**, **verde**, and more!

Interactive learning helps our students build confidence, expand their vocabulary, and experience a new language in a fun and memorable way. We love watching our young learners explore Spanish one word at a time! 📚

¡Excelente trabajo, estudiantes! 👏🏽

🔤 Learning is Lovely with the Letter “L”! 💛
Our Kindergarten and 1st Grade students put their thinking caps on as they worked together to see just how many words they could come up with that begin with the letter L!

We love seeing our primary students learn, laugh, and grow together! 📚✨

🧪🥣 The Great Chemistry Bake-Off! 🥣🧪

Our Chemistry class completed its first lab by making biscuits three different ways! Students compared the ingredients, observed how each recipe reacted during baking, and conducted the most delicious part of the experiment—the taste test! 😋

This hands-on lab showed how even small changes in ingredients can affect the texture, appearance, and flavor of the final product. Chemistry has never tasted so good!
