Mountain Phoenix Community School

Childhood is not something to rush through. Children need time and space to unfold in their own time and in their own way.

Summer is a beautiful reminder of this. Slow down. Wander. Read books.

The end of the school year brings so many beautiful opportunities to see what the children have explored this year.

Grade 3 Shelter Projects invite students to bring learning into their hands and hearts as they explore how humans create homes using natural materials, practical skills, and thoughtful design.

Grade 4 proudly sharing their animal projects. Red pandas to otters to pythons, all with so much excitement. These students explored the unique qualities of animals while deepening observation, creativity, empathy, and their connection to the natural world.

Best question to engage the students: What was the most exciting thing you learned about your animal?

From singing and dancing to teamwork and courage, Grade 6 poured their hearts into every scene of Annie. We are so proud of their creativity, confidence, and joy.

What a beautiful way to wrap up the year.

We shared a meal, enjoyed delicious ice cream from , frolicked in the foam, danced to the music, learned all about this school year and honored the many volunteers whose time, care, and generosity help make this school what it is.
