Did you know fire fighters can work in shifts of 24-48 hours, during which time they will actually live at the fire station?  We ask that all families please participate in this great opportunity to surprise our local neighborhood firefighters with some yummy snacks and also teach our children one of many ways to give back to these brave men and women of our community that protect us every day!

Coding Week

Academics
Our Summer Academy Scholars have been doing an awesome job this week picking up the concepts of computer coding! Students are learning how to group basic commands together to create a string of code for their friends to follow, and how to call functions to simplify the main code. A class favorite coding game is Lightbot, which is teaching us how to break down a task into its simplest elements. Confused yet? Maybe one of the kids can teach you!

Planeteers Week!

Planeteers Week!

Academics
  Summer Academy is underway!  Week 1 was fun and informative as we learned through our theme based on the 90's throwback show: Captain Planet, which taught about the importance of taking care of the Earth!  We learned about the recycling processes for metals, glass, plastic, and  students even made their own "Planeteer" element rings! We learned to recycle our own paper from ordinary classroom paper waste by breaking down the paper fibers through stripping, soaking in water and, after a quick blend, we pressed the newly formulated paper pulp into new sheets of paper!  Amazing!  As always our days begin with morning devotional.  This week we focused on the story of Joseph and his examples of Faith and Forgiveness. Nine more weeks of adventure and activity remain!  Be sure…
