🍒 Come join the fun! Let’s show our AES teachers how cherry-ished they really are! ❤️
The Declo Trendsetters came today and, as always, put on a fabulous performance! This one felt extra special as a former Acequia student, Tucker Christensen, took the lead in his final show at Acequia. There were a lot of songs played, but The Greatest Showman was definitely a favorite and today truly felt like the greatest show at the greatest place! We are so proud of Tucker and all the Trendsetters for making it a performance to remember!

Hattie Tracy won “Principal of the Day” during our Read-A-Thon and Tuesday was her big day! Between helping with office tasks, giving out house points, and setting up for our egg hunt, she was the ultimate sidekick.

Our very own Office Barbie – and she’s so much more than bandaids and ice packs! From last-minute copies to comforting calls with parents, she runs the office (and basically the whole school) with grace, calm, and a heart full of kindness. 💗
Today, we turned the office into a Barbie Dreamhouse, and let’s be real, she’s the one running it! ✨ The halls were glowing with pink as students and staff joined the fun, and yes—even Ken made an appearance to show his support!
As Barbie once said, “You can be anything” and you, friend, are everything this school needs.
We couldn’t do it without you and we hope you know just how much we love and appreciate you! Happy Secretary's Day! 💕
Yesterday was egg-stra special at Acequia! Our students had a blast during our House Egg Hunt, racing across the playground to snatch up eggs filled with points ranging from 1 to 50!
The excitement peaked with our 9 golden eggs, each worth a whopping 50 points! Talk about a game-changer!
With House points on the line, students sprinted, searched, and celebrated as they inched their teams closer to the title of House Champion.
We’re loving the teamwork, the laughter, and the friendly competition as we race toward the finish line. Keep up the momentum, House crews—every point counts!
🌍 Happy Earth Day from Acequia! 🌱
Today’s lunch came with a sweet surprise—our kitchen staff whipped up Dirt Cups to help us celebrate the wonders of our planet! With Oreo “soil,” marshmallow “rocks,” and gummy “worms” wriggling through the chocolatey layers, students got to dig in to a delicious reminder of Earth’s beauty. 🍫🪱🪨
Thanks to our creative kitchen crew for serving up a treat that was equal parts fun and festive! 🌎💚
We’ve got something special planned for a very special someone who helps keep our school running like a dream! 💫 In her honor, we’re inviting all students and staff to wear PINK tomorrow. Let’s fill the halls with kindness, color, and a whole lot of appreciation for someone who makes everything sparkle just a little bit brighter!
🚀🔬 Science was in the air last week at Acequia! Our 4th graders hosted an incredible Science Fair filled with curiosity, creativity, and a little bit of controlled chaos! From stretchy slime to gas-mixing experiments, these young scientists wowed us with their projects and passion. 🧪⚡️🧲
Way to go, 4th grade—you definitely brought the spark to science for Acequia ! 💡👏

Spring has officially arrived at Acequia! Our students discovered a ladybug takeover on the playground today—nature’s little reminder that wonder is all around us. We’re loving the curiosity and excitement these tiny visitors sparked!
This week, our school was honored to receive a thoughtful monetary donation in memory of Alexy Hughes Marchant, a passionate educator who wholeheartedly dedicated her life to making a positive impact on children. Alexy, who bravely fought cancer until her passing last July, would have celebrated her 29th birthday this week. In her honor, her family chose to make a contribution to a cause she deeply believed in—supporting students in their educational journeys.
While Alexy may not have been a member of our community, her spirit and story resonate with us all. She was renowned for her fierce love, compassionate heart, and a delightful fondness for pigs. To “Live Like Lex” serves as a reminder for us to embrace kindness, love unconditionally, and cherish each day.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Hughes family for this wonderful gift that honors Alexy’s memory. Her legacy continues to uplift and inspire us all.
This year’s Teacher of the Year is someone who brings creativity, collaboration, and joy into everything she does. From engaging, hands-on projects to always being willing to support fellow teachers, she brings fresh ideas and positive energy to our school. We are so lucky to have Linda Hanxleden on our team!
Our Classified Staff Member of the Year has gone above and beyond in her new role as cafeteria manager. From cheerful holiday decorations to creating a welcoming atmosphere for students, she works hard to make the cafeteria a place students enjoy each day. We are thrilled to recognize Kendra Knight for her dedication and heart.
Thank you both for making Acequia Elementary such a special place to learn and grow! 🍎💛
Serving up smiles and good vibes! 🏐 Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
"M" is for Mischief! 😄✏️ Our kindergarteners walked into a wacky world today—stubby pencils, upside-down name tags, and a brand new letter to learn... M! (Wait, didn’t we already do that? 🤔😉) April Fools had us all giggling and guessing! School is fun, but today it was just a little extra silly.
