We had a great time wrapping up our golf unit last week with a little mini golf!

Students had the chance to put their golf skills to the test while working their way through our course. It was a fun way to practice accuracy, control, and a little strategy along the way.

Lots of good shots, a few tricky obstacles, and plenty of fun! ⛳😊

A great finish to our golf unit!

What a great day at the Waverly Light & Power Duck Pond! 🎣☀️

The weather was beautiful, the fish were biting, and our students had an absolute blast. We caught plenty of small fish, but the best part was seeing the smiles, excitement, and laughter all afternoon. Even the students who only caught “green fish” (aka weeds 😂) had fun being part of the experience.

Whether students caught fish or just reeled in weeds, everyone had fun and stayed smiling. These are the kinds of experiences our students will remember!

One of the best parts of the end of the school year is continuing our favorite traditions!

On Tuesday, students and staff spent time together in the gym playing 9 Square throughout the day. There was lots of laughter, friendly competition, and fun for everyone involved.

We are so thankful for opportunities like this to celebrate the relationships, memories, and experiences we have built together all year long!

Student and Staff Dodgeball Day was a huge success!

The gym was definitely warm, but the fun and energy in the room made everyone forget about it. Students and staff had an amazing time laughing, competing, and enjoying the day together.

These moments are what make end-of-the-year traditions so special. Seeing students and adults smiling, joking, and having fun together was the best part of the day!

Students in Ms. Schmidt's Life Skills class prepared a delicious meal to show appreciation for teachers and paras. As part of a unit dedicated to hosting and etiquette, students were tasked with designing & delivering invitations, planning a menu, and preparing food for 50 people. Additionally, students were assessed on setting a formal table, proper dining manners, and having appropriate table conversations. They did awesome and returned the following week to many messages of praise and gratitude. Students had a lot of fun too.
