Happy summer vacation!
We had a fantastic Field Day full of fun and a wonderful hike up to the windmills!
Graduation was a big success, and Black Bears did a wonderful job at decorating the arch and making posters for our graduation 8th graders.
6th graders had a fun step up day in Brook Trout playing family food and getting philosophical with their new classmates.
Our end of year survival projects presentations and lessons went phenomenally and they were able to reflect on the experience together.
Materials Lists for next year will come out in August. I have attached the 2025-2026 calendar below.
Here are some resources for you and your Black Bear to access over the summer to further develop their skills! I encourage them to find a good book to read in their free time, maybe find a new series they can take a long with them into next year!
