Weekly Update: Celebrations, Milestones & End-of-Year Memories

As the school year begins winding down, there are so many exciting celebrations happening across campus—both school-wide and within individual studios! 

Please be sure to regularly check your child’s ClassDojo for important updates, event details, and reminders.

📌 Important Reminder:
If we do not receive signed permission slips by the stated deadlines, your Hero will remain on campus with another studio during off-campus activities.

Primary Studio

Happy Friday, Primary Families!

This week, we were finally able to transfer some of our growing plants into the garden beds! 🌿 The heroes were so excited to see their hard work continue outside in the campus garden.

The rainy weather certainly didn’t stop the fun! Learners enjoyed:

The heroes have also been helping care for our campus chickens and contributing to the compost, continuing to learn responsibility through real-world experiences.

As the year comes to a close, many learners are completing:

With these accomplishments come lots of celebrations as Heroes earn Freedom Cards and pick prizes from the treasure box! 🎉

We also had a very exciting surprise this week when a learner redeemed a “Show & Tell” Freedom Card and introduced the studio to their pet gecko, Speedy! 😎🦎

ES Blue Studio

This week, ES Blue learners finally got the chance to race their balloon-powered cars, which was a huge highlight!

Being indoors much of the week also gave learners time to make major progress on their challenge work milestones. They especially enjoyed playing competitive trivia games with Ms. Bethany and the Primary Studio—lots of fun and lots of competitive spirit!

The studio is also excited to begin celebrating their Read-A-Thon achievements next week. 

ES Green Studio

This week, ES Green Heroes tested their games with fellow learners as part of the Game Design Quest. Through this process, they practiced giving and receiving meaningful feedback, helping them make final adjustments to strengthen their game designs.

The Heroes also created and posted their official GaGa Ball Contract, promoting fair play, sportsmanship, and fun for everyone involved.

Upper Levels Studio

Upper Levels had a full and meaningful week! Learners attended a performance of
 Dear Evan Hansen and engaged in thoughtful conversations afterward about themes such as identity, belonging, and connection.

Back in the studio, learners continued their hands-on physics work while also participating in comedy improv games that encouraged:

It was a wonderful balance of academic challenge and creative expression.

📅 Upcoming Dates

Thank you for continuing to support our Heroes as they finish the year strong. We are so proud of the growth, courage, and creativity happening across campus every day! 🌷
