Our 2025 Theme
Each summer we have a school-wide theme that ties academic subjects together with hands-on learning to make learning exploratory and fun!
This year’s theme is “A Journey Through the Decades.” When we use “decades ago,” it is not just about the quantity, it’s about the impact on that time. It’s a way to set the scene for historical events, changes in society and personal milestones. It reminds us that the world and the lives of the people were quite different than today.
While each classroom will focus on a different decade, all classrooms will explore, research and share some fascinating facts in areas such as technology, finance, real estate, energy, transportation and consumer staples.
Embedded in our program are parallel themes around Character Education.
Each week we foster and infuse the following:
Week 1 – Trust / Respect
Week 2 – Resilience
Week 3 – Responsibility
Week 4 – Tolerance
Week 5 – Leadership
Week 6 – Perseverance
