🐐🎣⛏️ Kindergarten students enjoyed a day full of adventure at Deanna Rose Farms!
Fishing, visiting animals, mining for treasures, and LOTS of hands-on play! 🐓🐰🪣💦
Learning our letters, 1st grade teachers reminding their students that they were once first graders too—with matching T-shirts to prove it! 😂 And putting our high school role models to work helping with math.

☕️ Coffee in the Classroom! 📚
What happens when parents get to trade their morning coffee routine for a little real-life classroom experience? They get to see learning in action! ❤️
Our Coffee in the Classroom event gives parents the opportunity to spend a morning at school, step into their child’s classroom, and experience a little bit of what their child’s school day looks like.
From lessons and activities to classroom routines, it’s a chance for parents to see the learning, the relationships, the hard work—and maybe even understand why their child comes home with a few stories they forgot to mention! 😉
We are so grateful for parents who take the time to be part of their child’s education. When school and families work together, our students are the ones who benefit most!

Learning doesn’t just happen from bell to bell, or within the four walls of a classroom. 🔔✨

🍁 Everything is falling right into place! This week was all about embracing Fall—from practicing the letter F sound to getting creative with autumn trees, and catching frogs, 🎨Soaking up crisp fall energy, outdoor play, and lots of laughter.
History Fact: Avenue City once had a Post Office (1878-1913), a telephone exchange with operators to connect calls, and a small collection of local stores.
🌅 What a blessing it is to begin our morning surrendered in student - led prayer!
In Matthew 11:28, Jesus extends the gentlest, most powerful invitation:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
When we start our day by turning to Him, we don't just find rest for our own souls—we carry that peace to everyone around us. Today, we lift up our schools, our community, and our nation. We pray for safety and wisdom in our classrooms, unity and love in our neighborhoods, and guidance for our leaders.
Whatever weight you are carrying as this new day unfolds, remember His simple, loving command: "Come to Me." You don't have to carry the load alone or walk today's path in your own strength. Hand over the worry, trade your exhaustion for His grace, and step forward knowing He goes before us.

Students are putting their data collecting skills, to good use.
Teaching kids how to gather data and build graphs isn't just a math exercise—it's a foundational business skill. When young founders learn to read data, they learn to make informed, confident decisions for their mini-ventures. 💡
