Big thanks to all that donated so far! 💛🚌
As we enter the final month of summer break, it’s the perfect time to slow down, reset, and prepare our minds for the school year ahead. August can be full of mixed emotions—excitement, anxiety, anticipation. This month’s mindfulness calendar offers simple, daily reminders to stay grounded, present, and centered as routines begin to shift.
🗓 Here’s what you can expect:
📌 Gentle daily prompts to help manage transitions
📌 Moments to reflect, breathe, and reconnect
📌 Practices to reduce stress and build resilience before the school year begins
💬 A few examples:
☀️ Aug 2 – Make a paper chain countdown for the start of the school year.
☀️ Aug 6 – Journal: What are you excited for this school year?
☀️ Aug 11 – Practice your morning routine.
☀️ Aug 18 – Charge your Chromebook and get your backpack ready.
Let’s close out summer with presence and purpose.

Mr. Miyagi would be proud 🧼
With leftover funds in their account, the Class of '67 generously donated the remainder to our Backpack Program (an initiative that quietly supports students by sending home weekend meals during the school year).
Thanks to their kindness, this program continues to help meet real needs with dignity and care.
Your legacy lives on in the most meaningful way. Thank you, Class of 1967. ❤️
Painting is in full swing! Our painters are carefully making sure every last corner is covered. It’s the little details that make a big difference. Thanks to our crew for keeping things fresh for fall!
