☀️ Nature Trails & Ice Cream Pails: Summer School Week 1 was a blast! 🍦
Our creative crew had a busy, beautiful week exploring our community and getting artsy with nature. Here is a look at what we got up to:
🎨 Community Rock Hunt: We painted beautiful rocks and hid them outside the Museum, Kate’s, and the Library! Keep your eyes peeled next time you're out and about—can you find one?
🦁 Dandelion Lions: We turned backyard weeds into fierce (and adorable) dandelion lions!
🌿 Nature Scavenger Hunt: The kids explored the outdoors and snapped pictures with their favorite nature finds.
🍦 The Perfect Finish: We wrapped up our amazing week with a well-deserved sweet treat—ice cream from Kate’s!
We love seeing these smiles and watching our students connect with the community. Check out some of our favorite moments below! 👇

What a fantastic start to our summer! Week 1 of our "Tricks and Treats" program was an absolute blast. Our students jumped right into the fun, getting hands-on in the kitchen to whip up some delicious treats, and then the real magic happened… they got to hang out and play with some incredibly sweet dogs! Thank you to Rosewood Goldens for letting us come and visit.🐶✨

The amazing Terry Visger visited our elementary students today and completely blew us away! With her incredible energy and 37 years of elementary teaching magic, she brought folklore and fairy tales to life right in our gym. The laughter and captivated faces said it all.
Ask your kiddos tonight about their favorite story Terry told today! 📖✨

And they're off! We celebrated our 6th graders' graduation yesterday. The ceremony featured 6th-grade choir and band performances, Class awards and achievement awards, and heartfelt speeches from our students. A special thank you to the parents, teachers, staff, and Administration for all you do to prepare them for this big day! Wishing the Class of 2032 the best as they embark on this new chapter. We are extremely proud of you!
The Clear Lake School District places high value not only on academics but character as well. Each month, the elementary school awards students who exemplify Warrior traits in and out of the classroom. Here are our Mays recipients for Academics and Character: Parker Grosskreutz, Lucian Bearheart, Emmy Babcock, Gwen Sell, Addisyn Thompson, John Cuper, Klara Peters, Joshua Friendshuh, Jozie Mickelson, Oliver Meyers, Blair Aasmundrud, Abigail Wood, Eloise Miller, Oliver Haaf, Melvin Paulson, and Lillian Anderson.
Bittersweet moments today as we say goodbye to our amazing 6th graders! To send them off in style, we kept our favorite tradition alive and had them lead the entire school in one final, epic Tooty Ta! 🎶💃 Seeing them lead the younger kids with so much confidence (and zero shame about those silly moves!) proves just how ready they are for the next chapter.

Thank you to John Nagel, engineer at Oxbo, for taking the time to speak with Mrs. Petersen's Careers class about his work in engineering!
John passed around some samples of products he designed in his role at Oxbo, giving students a firsthand look at the engineering process and the impact engineers have on the products we use every day.
He also discussed how he decided to pursue a career in engineering and offered valuable advice for students who may be interested in the field. It was very interesting!
Thanks, John!!
