🏕️🪨 FLAT PERCY’S CAMPING ADVENTURE! 🪨🏕️

Flat Percy traded the classroom for the great outdoors and spent some time camping and climbing boulders! He explored nature, enjoyed the fresh air, and scrambled over giant rocks like a true adventurer. 🌲☀️

💡 Fun Fact: Bouldering is a type of rock climbing done on shorter rocks without ropes. Climbers use their strength, balance, and problem-solving skills to find the best way to the top!

Way to go, Percy! We can’t wait to see where your next adventure takes you. 🌎📸

🏊‍♂️☀️ FLAT PERCY MAKES A SPLASH! ☀️🏊‍♂️

Flat Percy is cooling off and having a blast in the pool this summer! Whether he’s practicing his kicks, floating in the water, or making a big splash, Percy is proving that swimming is one of the best ways to beat the heat. 💦😎

🐾 Fun Fact: Did you know that swimming works almost every muscle in your body? It’s a great way to stay active while having fun!

Where will Percy go next? We can’t wait to see all of his summer adventures! Don’t forget to send us your Flat Percy photos so we can share where he’s been. 🌎📸

🐾✈️ FLAT PERCY’S SUMMER ADVENTURES ✈️🐾

Percy has spent the week exploring Boston, Massachusetts with Dr. Kendall and some of Traut’s amazing 4th and 5th graders! 🇺🇸📚 From walking historic streets to learning about our nation’s history, Percy has been having a fantastic time in one of America’s oldest cities.

🌟 Fun Fact: Boston is home to the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile red-brick path that connects 16 important historic sites! If you follow the red line through the city, you can visit places connected to the American Revolution and the founding of the United States.

Thanks for taking Percy along on your adventure, Dr. Kendall and Traut students! We can’t wait to see where Percy travels next. 🌎🐾

🌍✈️ FLAT PERCY’S SUMMER ADVENTURES: LONDON EDITION! 🇬🇧⏰

Percy has crossed the pond and landed in London, England! 🇬🇧 He’s busy taking in some of the city’s most famous sights, including Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

💡 Fun Fact:
Did you know that Big Ben is actually the name of the giant bell inside the clock tower—not the clock itself? The tower is officially called the Elizabeth Tower, and the bell weighs more than 13 tons! 🔔

Percy is having a fantastic time exploring London. Where do you think his next adventure will take him? 🌎✨

🐾🌄 FLAT PERCY’S SUMMER ADVENTURE UPDATE! 🌄🐾

Look where Percy wandered this week… Arches & Canyonlands National Parks in Utah! 🏜️☀️

Percy explored towering red rock formations, breathtaking canyons, and some of the most incredible landscapes in the country.🌟

🤔 Percy’s Fun Fact:
Did you know Arches National Park has more than 2,000 natural stone arches? That’s more arches than anywhere else in the world! Some took millions of years to form from wind, water, and changing temperatures.

🏞️ And at Canyonlands National Park, you can stand high above giant canyons carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers over millions of years!

📸 Where will Percy go next? Keep sending us photos of your summer adventures—whether you’re exploring a national park, visiting a local playground, cheering at a baseball game, or enjoying your own backyard
