St. Patrick’s Day spirit was alive and dancing at Acequia today! ☘️ Our students took to the playground with their best Irish jigs, spreading joy and a little luck along the way. 💚
Nothing beats a little music, movement, and fun with friends!
Luck was in the air today at Acequia as our staff took on a spirited Rock, Paper, Scissors Challenge! Each teacher started with two green necklaces, battling it out throughout the day. The stakes? Pride, fun, and of course—our legendary Green Basket!
Students cheered on their teachers as the necklaces changed hands, leading to a thrilling final showdown. In the end, it came down to a tie-breaker match… and Miss McHan took home the win! What a fantastic way to bring some St. Patrick’s Day fun into our halls! 🍀💚 Mrs. Kendra Knight won third place (not pictured)
Happy National Butterfly Day! 🦋 Just like butterflies, our students are growing, transforming, and spreading their creativity. Check out this beautiful butterfly artwork from our talented students at Acequia!
It was one of those wild weather days—rain, snow, and a whole lot of imagination! ❄️☔️ Our students didn’t let the frozen ground stop them; they built a "snowman" out of frozen wood chips! Gotta love their creativity and teamwork. After all, teamwork makes the dream work!
