🥤✨ FLOAT WARS 2026 ✨🥤

The competition was fierce, the floats were fizzy, and the opinions were STRONG. 😂

Our students participated in “Float Wars” where everyone got to sample different float flavors and vote for their favorite! From strawberry to grape to orange to classic root beer — every flavor had its fans.

The kids absolutely loved walking up to the tablet and casting their vote. Watching the live poll change in real time made it even more exciting because they could actually SEE how their vote impacted the results. Talk about serious business in the world of floats. 😎🥤

🏆 Final Champion: ROOT BEER FLOAT

🍉 Watermelon artists in the making! 🎨

Today our kiddos created their very own versions of watermelon slices using paint, sponges, and paper plates — and honestly… they were pretty spot on. 😂🍉

From the bright red “juicy” centers to the tiny black seeds and green rinds, each child had their own creative spin on this summer favorite. We loved seeing how proud they were showing off their masterpieces and explaining every little detail they added.

It’s always amazing watching little imaginations turn simple crafts into something so sweet, colorful, and uniquely theirs. ☀️🖌️

✨ CHALK MASTERPIECES 2026 ✨
Today our school-age crew turned the basketball court into one giant outdoor art gallery! 🎨☀️
Using masking tape, we sectioned off individual spaces so every student had their very own “canvas” to design however they wanted. From silly creations to colorful masterpieces, the creativity was everywhere — and the pride on their faces said it all.
The best part?
Pulling up the tape at the end and seeing the final reveal come together like one huge collaborative masterpiece. Honestly… it looked SO cool. Sidewalk chalk has been around forever for a reason — give kids a little space and a box of chalk and suddenly they’re Michelangelo on concrete. 🖍️
We could not be happier with how it turned out!
