Fifth grade packed a lot of adventure into the last few weeks of school with not one, but two amazing field trips!
Earlier this year, Mrs. Watt's and Mrs. Nielsen's classes were unable to go cross-country skiing, but they didn't let that stop the fun. They made up for it with a trip to Ross Park, where students challenged themselves on the rock-climbing, tested their skills at frisbee golf, and found their balance on the slack line.
Then, all of fifth grade headed to Lava Hot Springs for a day of fun, relaxation, and unforgettable memories with friends. From climbing new heights to making a splash, our fifth graders had an incredible time celebrating the end of a fantastic school year.
What a great way to wrap up fifth grade!

You've got to love this beautiful weather!
For the last week of school, Alpine students took full advantage of the sunshine and spent their lunch break enjoying a friendly game of volleyball. It was great to see students staying active, working together, and making memories with their friends as we wrapped up another fantastic school year.

A fun tradition here at The Academy is when Mrs. Steinlicht brings in her beautiful Blue-and-Gold Macaws, Hercy and Morgan, for our students to meet!
Blue-and-Gold Macaws are known for their striking blue wings, bright golden feathers, and impressive intelligence. These amazing birds can live for 50 years or more, learn words and sounds, and even solve simple puzzles. In the wild, they are native to the forests and wetlands of South America and are known for forming strong bonds with their families and companions.
Our students always love the opportunity to learn about these incredible birds up close. Thank you, Mrs. Steinlicht, for sharing Hercy and Morgan with us and helping make learning such a memorable experience!

As the school year came to a close, Connor Academy's 5th graders received a special sneak peek into their future! Students had the opportunity to visit Alpine Academy, meet their upcoming 6th grade teachers, and take a tour of the school.

Alpine Academy is look forward to welcoming you next year!

As part of the 6th grade ELA unit on Summer of the Mariposas, students had the opportunity to watch caterpillars grow, form chrysalises, and emerge as butterflies while reading the novel. The experience helped bring the story’s symbolism to life as students explored how the characters, like the butterflies, transform and grow throughout their journey. The unit concluded with a butterfly release during 6th grade lunch—a memorable celebration of learning and transformation.
We can't believe last Friday was the end of the 2025-2026 school year! The kids were definitely ready for summer... and let's be honest we think everybody was too!
We want to give a HUGE shoutout to Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Wallentine, Mrs. Moretti, and Mrs. Jen. Friday was their last day at the Academy as they move on to the next phase of life. They will all surely be missed, and we are so grateful for the love, care, and dedication they have given to our students and school community over the years!

Hats off to everyone at The Academy for rocking Crazy Hair & Hat Day yesterday — the styles were truly un-be-weave-able!
From wild hair-dos to cap-tivating hats, the craziness was through the roof!
