Today we honored and celebrated our winning house, Altruismo! 🖤🐉 Students proudly carried the dragon they created while the rest of our Eagles cheered them on and congratulated them on an incredible year. One of our favorite parts of today was watching students celebrate each other, because winning is exciting, but learning sportsmanship, encouragement, and supporting others matters too. Altruismo represents kindness, generosity, and putting others first, and today was a fun way to celebrate the hard work that led them here. Congratulations, Altruismo!

Entering into our LAST week of school with only TWO days left... say whaaat?! 🤯🎉

How did we get here already? In just two days we still have a House Celebration, Minico Grad Walk, 5th grade vs. staff kickball, 5th grade graduation, Pizza Hut Day, and lots more! We are definitely going out with a BANG as we make these final memories together.

Just a reminder: The last day of school for students will be Wednesday, May 27th. Let’s make these final days the best ones yet! ❤️🦅

Some projects are bigger than paint and brushes. ❤️ As Kristi Wilson heads to 6th grade, this sweet girl wanted to leave one more mark and paint the blacktop one last time. With incredible help and support, the blacktop got a fresh new look and looks amazing! A huge thank you to Abby, Natalie, Ivy Kent, Hunter Halverson, Brogan Blauer, Amiee Bingham, Bailey Seibold, Addi Christiansen, Kristi and Megan Wilson for giving your time and energy to our school. And if I missed anyone who jumped in to lend a hand, please know we are just as grateful for you too. Your service, dedication, and willingness to step in and help is what makes Acequia so special. The blacktop will be enjoyed by so many students for years to come, and every painted line is a reminder of the people who care deeply about our Eagles. Thank you for leaving your mark on Acequia. 🦅

Yesterday was our yearbook signing day, and it was one of those moments that reminds us just how special a school year can be. So much hard work and many extra hours went into creating a book that captures the memories, moments, and smiles from this year.

Watching students move from class to class, laughing, signing pages, and connecting with friends across grade levels created memories we won't soon forget. These are the little moments that become the big memories.

Thank you to everyone who purchased a yearbook and helped make our first yearbook such a special keepsake for our Eagles. ❤️📚

This year, Ms. Hanxleden's class had 8 Super Readers! We celebrated with everyone because each student worked so hard all year long.

The day was filled with cowboy stories, extra time out on the range for recess, and the Super Eight enjoyed a special BBQ lunch with their teacher. The fun continued with team rodeo events including dress-like-a-clown relays and team barrel racing.

Hard work, reading, and making memories all in one day. Way to go, Eagles! 🤠📚

The 3rd Grade Lemonade War went down today during lunch... 🍋🥤 and the results are in... Mrs. Robbins’ class, Shark Attack, took the win! 🦈🏆

But if we're being honest, both recipes were a huge success and could probably be sold for millions. More importantly, our students had fun, showed creativity, and squeezed a little friendly competition into the day! 💛

Mr. Strauch’s 4th grade class stepped back into Idaho history and learned firsthand how pioneers lived! 🥖 Students made sourdough just like Idaho pioneers once did, mixing history with hands-on learning and getting a small taste of life on the trail. Learning comes alive when students can experience it for themselves! 🤠📚

Mrs. McCall’s first graders turned into little paleontologists this week! 🦴🔍 Digging, discovering, and carefully breaking apart chocolate chip “fossils” one piece at a time. Learning is always more fun when it comes with a little adventure... and chocolate! 🍪🦕

Our first-ever bounce house was a huge hit at Field Day! A big thank you to 208 Party Time Rentals for making the process seamless from set-up to take-down, and to our PTO for helping make it happen for our Eagles. The obstacle course quickly became a highlight of the day as students raced through with excitement, smiles, and plenty of friendly competition. The energy and excitement on their faces said it all! Thank you for helping make Field Day one to remember.

Nothing says Field Day lunch break quite like Kona Ice! 🍧 Students cooled off from a fun-filled morning and recharged before heading into the afternoon session.

A huge thank you to our incredible PTO for continuing to spoil our Eagles and helping create moments our students get excited about. We heard it over and over throughout the day: "Today was the best day yet!"

Field Day was one for the books! Bounce houses, Twister, tug-a-war, meeting Ollie the Octopus, Granny Pants, Battleship, mat relays, and so much more filled the day with fun and excitement. Students spent the morning and afternoon laughing, cheering one another on, earning house points, and making memories together.

Sportsmanship awards were earned by houses that stood out for their encouragement, respect, and positive attitudes throughout the day. Congratulations to Amistad and Reveur in the morning and Isibindi in the afternoon!

A huge thank you goes to Mrs. Turner for planning an incredible day from start to finish. The amount of time, organization, and heart that goes into making a day like this happen does not go unnoticed. Thank you for creating a day our Eagles will be talking about for a long time! 🦅

2nd grade took on ELEVATE Gymnastics and they were ALL IN! Jumping, climbing, running, laughing, and playing until they had absolutely no energy left to spare.

What a fun way to celebrate the end of the year and give those students a place to let all that excitement out where it belongs! Huge shoutout to our incredible 2nd grade team for planning such a memorable field trip experience for our students. It was definitely a huge hit and one they’ll be talking about for a long time! 🦅

Today we celebrate the many mothers of Acequia Elementary. ❤️🌸

To the moms at home - thank you for trusting us each day with the most important people in your lives. Your love, encouragement, and support are the foundation our students build from each day.

And to the incredible women within our school - the teachers, paras, secretaries, cooks, aides, and staff who help comfort tears, celebrate successes, offer hugs, tie shoes, and care for children throughout the school day - thank you for helping make Acequia feel like home.

It truly takes a village to raise and support children, and we are grateful for every mother figure who helps shape the lives of our students both inside and outside our school walls.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Acequia Elementary. 🌷❤️
