Our Acequia House Leaders came together today to decorate our school Christmas tree — and it is stunning! Each house added their own special touch, but when it all came together, it created one beautiful school tree. We love watching our students lead, create, and collaborate as one school, one family. You’ll have to stop by and see it in person… we’re pretty sure it’s the prettiest tree in all of Acequia! 🎄

Our Eagles came together to create this artwork—each square a small thank-you to the brave men and women who have served our country. When we put them all together, it reminds us how powerful we can be when we stand united.

Thank you, veterans, for your service and sacrifice. We honor you today and always. ❤️🤍💙

This past week, our students have begun each morning with grateful hearts—through pictures, words, and thoughtful reflection. Today’s prompt: a friend you are grateful for.

Building this simple, powerful habit helps our little eagles start each day on a positive note—a reminder that gratitude can brighten your outlook, no matter how young or old you are. ✨
