Shout-outs, and Tigers and Fun, oh my! The Elementary/ESL Summer Program wrapped up their last week with unforgettable fun! We had a visit from the Schuyler Tiger and our weekly shout outs! We also celebrated the last day with some exciting inflatables and awesome games presented by our Middle School students and teachers! We hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer!

🎪 Week 4 at ESY: Circus Spectacular! 🎪

Students and staff stepped right up in their brightest, boldest, and most exciting circus-themed outfits — and the fun didn’t stop there! 🤹‍♀️🤡🎩

We juggled our way through a day full of fine and gross motor activities like sack races, beanbag toss, jumbo Jenga, spin art, cup stacking, and more. 🎨🏃‍♂️🎯

The grand finale? Delicious circus treats — snow cones and popcorn, of course! 🍧🍿

Big cheers for our amazing ESY performers this week!

From Shout Outs to Laser Shows, the Elementary/ESL Summer Program is definitely rocking! Students are learning, dancing, and making summer memories together!

Week 3 of ESY was full of sunshine and smiles! ☀️

Students continued their weekly scavenger hunt fun with a lemonade theme, searching high and low for all things zesty and bright! ✨

They also tapped into their creative side by constructing and decorating their own kites, then took to the outdoors to watch them soar. 🪁💨

We wrapped up the week by wearing yellow and cooling off with some fresh-squeezed fun at the ESY lemonade stand—a sweet end to a cheerful week! 💛🍋💛

📣 Save the Date: The Board of Education Meeting previously scheduled for July 28th has been changed to 🗓️ July 21 at 🕧 7pm at the Board Office: 172 Midland Avenue. The public is welcome to attend.

First Week of ESY = A Splashing Success! (Part 2)

We kicked off our Extended School Year with a Beach & Ocean theme, and our students dove right into the fun!
Early in the week, they explored with a Beach Scavenger Hunt, discovering seashells, sunglasses, and more! The fun continued with hands-on activities like dot painting, playdough ocean creations, bean bag toss games, fishing, and time at the sensory table.

We’re off to a fantastic start and can’t wait to see what next week brings! 🌞🌊🐠 #ESY2025 #BeachWeek #LearningThroughPlay
