As we look back on July, we are proud of all the learning, exploration, and fun our Panther Cubs students experienced throughout the month. Students enjoyed Water Days, explored the cultures and traditions of Brazil, Egypt, Russia, and Japan, participated in hands-on activities, and spent time outdoors enjoying the beautiful summer weather. We were also happy to welcome Miss Lynn back to our program.

This week, students learned about Japan by creating lanterns, exploring cultural traditions, and sharing their enthusiasm for Pokémon through card trading and friendly games. It was a wonderful week filled with creativity, friendship, and learning.

Next week, we will conclude our Around the World summer adventure with a visit to Mexico. It will also be our final week with our school-age summer care students before they return to school. We look forward to celebrating a fantastic summer and making a few more memories together before the school year begins.

Thank you to our families for sharing your children with us this summer. We have loved watching them learn, grow, and create lasting friendships.

Our last week of school was packed with fun, hands‑on experiences that brought so much joy to our students. From special events to classroom celebrations, our halls were full of energy and excitement as we wrapped up the year together. We’re grateful for the memories made and the strong partnerships that helped our students shine all year long.
