What better way to beat the heat of summer than with an icy sweet treat!?!

This week in Performing Arts, our club members have been busy creating spy skits and songs about secret missions, undercover agents, and dramatic escapes!

We’ve seen suspiciously good acting, top-secret dance moves, and enough spy gadgets (imaginary, of course) to make any villain nervous. Luckily, all of our young spies managed to escape in time for snack!

Mission status: Creativity accomplished.

Week One was a BLAST!!

Our members spent the week getting to know one another by sharing about themselves, creating group agreements, and building new friendships. They explored how the human body works, discovered the science behind flight, and built new skills through Digital Literacy, Performing Arts, Healthy Habits, and exciting Sports & Recreation activities.

From hands-on learning, creative expression, body movement, and healthy choices, every day was packed with opportunities to learn and grow. We also enjoyed special visits from Kona Ice and Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, adding a little extra fun to an already amazing week!

Week One was filled with learning, laughter, friendship, and unforgettable memories and we can’t wait to see what Week Two brings!
