🎉 Summer School 2026 has officially come to an end! ☀️
What a fantastic way to wrap up an incredible summer! On their final day, our students celebrated with an unforgettable trip to Ponca State Park, where they explored the great outdoors while learning valuable new skills.
Throughout the day, students learned how to fish, practiced slingshot safety and target shooting, discovered campfire and fire safety, explored basic survival skills, and learned about the amazing flora and fauna that make Nebraska so special.
A huge THANK YOU goes to Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Carlson, and Mrs. Johnson for making this year’s summer school such a fun and meaningful experience. Your creativity, enthusiasm, and dedication helped our students grow academically while creating memories they’ll never forget.
Thank you for investing your time and hearts into our students. We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled rest of the summer! 🌲🎣🔥❤️
Summer school = learning + FUN! ☀️📚🫧
Reading, math, science... and a whole lot of fun! Today our students explored a little science while making GIANT bubbles!
Our recipe:
🫧 2.5 gallons of water
🫧 2 cups of Dawn dish soap
🫧 2 cups of glycerin
🫧 1 cup of baking powder
The secret? Let the mixture sit as long as possible (up to 12 hours) for the best bubbles!
We cut pool noodles in half to make bubble wands, then watched the giant bubbles come to life. Add a splash pool to hold the solution and a hula hoop for even bigger bubbles, and you've got an easy, inexpensive activity that's perfect for a hot, summer day.
Learning doesn't stop in the summer—it just gets a little more bubbly! 💜💛
