SLC 2025 Day 3 We sadly didn’t have any students make the top 8 on their tests. But we finished the day with 2nd place for our March of Dimes ribbon project and ate a group meal at Fiesta Brava on our way home! It was a great 3 days with some awesome kids!



SLC 2025 Day 2
⭐️ The kids finished up their testing today.
⭐️ We were recognized for our March of Dimes donation. Emily ran the Pie Smash contest which helped us raise over $500. Thank you again to our community, students, and staff for helping us get here!
⭐️ Kyle successfully completed the Buffalo Wild Wings Hot Wings Challenge.
⭐️ We went to Axe Holes and did their glow in the dark paint splatter room. They got to create canvas artwork and then have a paint war!
It was a great day with lots of Chapter bonding time! We have some really great kids. It’s so rewarding as their teacher and advisor to see how respectful they can be while also having a lot of fun. On to our 3rd and final day tomorrow!
