On Friday, our seniors took an exciting step toward life after graduation at our Jumpstart Your Future event! 💜💛
Throughout the morning, students were assisted in applying to colleges, exploring scholarship and financial aid opportunities, and had the chance to meet with military representatives, and connected with local employers to discover job and career options right here in our community.
This event is such an important milestone for our seniors — it’s a day to dream big, plan ahead, and set those goals in motion! Whether they’re heading to college, pursuing a trade, serving in the military, or joining the workforce, today was all about taking those first confident steps into the future. 🌟
A huge thank-you to all of our school staff and community volunteers who made this event possible. Our students are so lucky to have incredible partners who are always willing to help and support their success.👏
We’re so proud of our seniors for embracing this opportunity and investing in their futures! 💫

Last week, 14 Early Childhood Curriculum students had an unforgettable day at the Bettendorf Family Museum, exploring creative learning environments! 🎨✨ They participated in preschool classes, constructed and designed works of art in the Imagination Station, enjoyed the ADA-compliant playground, and absolutely loved the new Road Trip exhibit. Many are already planning their next visit!
Even more importantly, students deepened their appreciation for the power of play—because play = research = learning! They wrapped up the day with a delicious meal together at Jimmy’s Pancake House. 🥞💜
