What an incredible week at the Aspire Academy Summer Program!

Our students spent last week building valuable workplace and life skills by learning about employer expectations, practicing table service as waiters, waitresses, and bussers, and creating positive personal profiles to showcase their strengths.

We wrapped up the week with two amazing community-based learning experiences—working in a retail store and volunteering at Sandhills Global Event Center, where students helped fill contestant buckets for the upcoming National High School Finals Rodeo.

We are so proud of their hard work, positive attitudes, and willingness to learn. Thank you to our community partners for providing these meaningful opportunities!

🦁🐒 What a WILD day at the Lincoln Children's Zoo! 🐧🦒

Our Bennet Summer Enrichment students had an unforgettable adventure exploring the amazing animals and interactive exhibits at the Lincoln Children's Zoo! From watching playful animals up close to learning about habitats, conservation, and wildlife, our students were full of curiosity, excitement, and smiles all morning long.

The hands-on experiences gave students the opportunity to connect their learning with the natural world while creating wonderful summer memories alongside their friends and teachers.

A very special THANK YOU goes to our incredible Panther supporter, Miss Jenney Miller, for so generously hosting our students and helping make this experience possible. Your kindness and support of our school community are truly appreciated, and you helped create a day our students will remember for years to come!

We are also grateful to our staff and volunteers for making the trip safe, organized, and fun for everyone.

What a great day to be a Panther! ❤️💙

Another Middle School Summer Programming class has come and gone! Last week Mrs. Hanger's Coding with Microbits class all took home their own microbit to program and code for games. They were also able to explore the Amazon Future Engineer site.
