CASE CLOSED at Promesa!

Our very first week-long after-school club clinic is officially complete, and Promesa’s Detective Academy was a HIT!

Throughout the week, our junior detectives learned all about fingerprints, collecting evidence, cracking secret codes, and putting their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test as they worked together to solve The Case of the Missing Trophy!

None of this would have been possible without our incredible volunteers, The Burgeson Family, who gave their time and energy to create such a fun experience for our students. THANK YOU for continuing to pour into our Promesa kiddos!

We wrapped up the week with an official Detective Academy Graduation and, of course, a special visit from Promise the Panda!

Want to bring YOUR talents, hobbies, or interests to our students? We’re looking for volunteers to host future week-long after-school clubs! Reach out to Mrs. Halie to learn more.

And as a little thank-you for volunteering, host a club and earn a SKIP THE CAR LINE PASS for an entire week after your club ends!

What should our next after-school club be?

Lotería, cumbia, elote, and familia — what better way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at Promesa! 🐼💙

Our campus was filled with music, laughter, dancing, and so many of our wonderful Promesa families as we came together for our Family Lotería Night.

At Promesa, school is about more than what happens inside the classroom. We want our families to feel connected, welcomed, and truly part of our school community. Nights like this are what make Promesa feel like home.

A huge THANK YOU to every family who joined us and helped make the evening so special. We love creating these memories with you — and we’re just getting started!

Interested in becoming part of the Promesa family? We’d love to welcome you!
