❤️Weekly Edition of Tribal Talk ❤️
We wrapped up our Moonshot Academy tutoring and Storytime with a packed house for our Family Showcase this evening! 🌟
Our students proudly shared all they’ve been learning and working on throughout this semester in Moonshot Academy, and it was incredible to see their growth, confidence, and excitement on display.
We are so grateful for our partnership with The Learning Alliance and their generous donors, who made this opportunity possible for over 60 of our students this year. A huge thank you as well to our amazing tutors who pour so much time, care, and dedication into supporting our learners.
At our school, we truly thrive as a tribe—coming together to lift each other up and support every child’s success. What a fantastic way to celebrate their hard work! 💫
🏫 Take Your Child to Work Day 👩🏫
Today was Take Your Child to Work Day, and we love seeing the curiosity, excitement, and inspiration it brings! 💼✨
Across our campus, many of our staff members welcomed their own children to experience a day in the life at school—getting a behind-the-scenes look at all the care, teamwork, and dedication that goes into supporting our students each and every day.
Today was all about sparking ideas for the future and helping children explore the many paths their dreams can take. Whether your child joined you at work or learned about a career in another way, we’d love to celebrate with you!
📸 Drop your Take Your Child to Work Day pictures in the comments and share the experience with our school community.
We can’t wait to see where the future is headed!
