So often our students know exactly what is needed on a given day. And we are lucky to have teachers who understand that, and can adapt in the moment.
Today, one elementary student wanted to help teach another how to read, and this was her lesson. ❤️
Is that my child?!
That is so kind and sweet! I just love it!
Chrysalis, and Teacher Dorothy.... a recipe for success❤️❤️❤️
Is that my granddaughter
I just melted
Last week was our Spring Break and wow did we get some beautiful weather! Students were out and about doing everything from camping to volunteering! Today we shout out to junior, Dom, who is working with Habitat for Humanity on Whidbey Island! He is learning amazing new building skills and trying out a new tool every time they meet. Thank you for giving back, Dom, it's wonderful to see!
This week’s elementary lunch meetings with Jayna and Kyra were ‘animal themed.' We enjoyed seeing so many of our students, and their adorable pets! We met a bearded dragon, a guinea pig, many adorable dogs, a horse, a few camera-shy cats, and plenty of beloved stuffed animals!
Thank you for joining us for lunches. It is always a good time and so fun to catch up!
You might have heard that there was a trial of impeachment at the high school - but don't be alarmed! Our JSA hosted a mock impeachment trial for co-President, Claire C. Students used this as practice for writing bills for the JSA Winter Congress, and as a glimpse into our government and its procedures. Students drafted the articles of impeachment, and they also tried out roles as the defense attorney and prosecuting attorney. High school teachers participated as the jury. Luckily, Claire was acquitted!
April and SPRING BREAK are almost here! We couldn't be more appreciative for all of the wonderful photos you have been sending us of your children for the yearbook! Here is April's yearbook photo challenges guide! Thank you families!
We are getting ready for outdoor playdays at the Elementary School next month. We cannot wait to see some of our students in person again!

With a willing attitude, and a few supplies, our young scientists continue conducting experiments from home! Throughout online learning, it has been our intention to keep teaching to the strengths and learning styles of each of our students. And when that means hands-on science is going to be the most engaging and successful, then that is what we do!
And at the center of it all, a fantastic team of brilliant, committed, flexible teachers who help our kids every step of the way! 💜
