Many thanks to our friends at Armstrong for this afternoon! We celebrated the success of our winter clothing drive benefitting Family Children & Community Association and Center for Family Services, Inc. with popsicles and a movie on their big screen! What a great way to wrap up the school year!

The Novices celebrated all their recent hard work with a Camping Day today! We went fishing, did puzzles, played at our camp site, made maps, used binoculars to hunt for things around the room, and even made a special snack! We can't believe the school year is almost over!

Congrats to some of our alumni on receiving scholarship awards!

Last Friday, we had the honor of presenting scholarship awards to graduating seniors across Crawford County.

Each scholarship represents a donor’s belief in education and a commitment to helping students pursue their dreams.

Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients, and thank you to the donors who continue to invest in the future of our community.

What a fabulous Track and Field Day!

Many, many thanks to Sara Mehler for organizing such a wonderful event. And extra thanks to all of the parent volunteers who kept the day running smoothly. We had so much fun! Today included everything from traditional events like relay races and tug of war to the not-so-traditional like chuck that chicken and gaga ball! We got back to the school and celebrated the day with some sweet treats!

We had an absolute blast! More pictures will be in the newsletter on Friday!

The Learning Center ROCKS!

Thanks to all who joined us for our first TLC reunion this afternoon. It was amazing to catch up with old friends and spend time with new ones. Today was extra special as we celebrated Dana and the profound impact she's had on our learning community.

Mark your calendars for next year!

Our friends at Codebloom Labs and French Creek Arts Collective have a great summer camp planned- a combination or art, tech, and creative play!

One month out for Flow, the summer camp we're running with the French Creek Arts Collective. Kids make things, digital and physical, sometimes both at once. They code, they build, they move around. It's a small group (20 kids max), it's all day, and by Friday they'll have made things they didn't know they could make.

June 22–26, 9AM–3PM. Ages 8–11. $200 for the week. Cussewago Square, Meadville.

We had our last Whole School Sing of the school year today - complete with two dancing songs to close things out! It was also student accompanist Alex's final performance with Dan! One week left!

Mystery has been afoot in the Novice room this week! When we came in on Tuesday, we discovered someone had stolen our cookies from our cookie jar! We honed our detective skills all week, learning how to look for and find clues, studying fingerprints, and practicing our interrogation skills. A scavenger hunt led us to 10 suspects. We fingerprinted those suspects. Upon getting the results back from the FBI, we concluded that Dan was our prime suspect! After some intense interrogation, and a little bit of silly string and truth serum, Dan admitted to the theft! He returned our cookies. And because we're such good friends, we shared with him. What an adventure!

We hope you'll be able to join us for our first TLC Family Reunion on Saturday, May 30th starting at 12pm!

Connect with old friends, see what's new in our forever home, and enjoy a meal together. It's the perfect opportunity to catch up!

We can't wait to see you!

We had an amazing time on our field trip today! We loved the performance of "Once Upon a Mattress" at the Erie Playhouse. And we lucked into some beautiful weather at Presque Isle for picnicking and playing.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
