There's no doubt about it—Tuesdays are a favorite for our Eagle U students! Each week, they look forward to building confidence, learning new skills, and having a blast in the pool.
This week's swimmers:
🏐 Played water volleyball and football.
💧 Practiced jumping into the pool and becoming more comfortable submerging underwater.
🤸 Showed off their growing confidence by working on underwater handstands!
It's amazing to watch our students strengthen their swimming abilities, encourage one another, and create lasting memories—all while having so much fun!




Our Eagle U students put their STEAM skills to the test this week by designing and building their very own custom marble runs! Young engineers worked together to plan, create, and refine their designs while exploring how gravity, motion, and momentum move marbles through exciting twists, turns, and drops.
This hands-on activity encouraged creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking—all while making physics come to life in a fun and engaging way. It was amazing to watch our students experiment, make adjustments, and celebrate their successful designs!
Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help out!
The Eagle U crew crushed their golf practice session last Thursday! Everyone spent time mastering their short game with some serious chipping practice.
The Highlight of the Day:
Ted sank an unbelievable hole-in-one straight from the chipping area!



Our students are showing what outstanding scholars they are by working hard each day to strengthen their ELA and Math skills—all while enjoying an exciting summer filled with hands-on activities and new experiences.
We're so proud of the effort, determination, and positive attitudes our students bring to the classroom each day. They continue to prove that learning can be both meaningful and fun! Keep up the great work, Eagle U scholars! 🦅✨







Eagle U kicked off Session 2 with an exciting trip to the pool, where 43 students had a fantastic time splashing, swimming, and building their confidence in the water.
It's been wonderful to watch our students become more comfortable in the pool each week while having fun, encouraging one another, and creating lasting summer memories. The smiles, laughter, and excitement make Swimming Day a highlight of the Eagle U experience!
We can't wait for another great week of summer adventures! ☀️🦅


Second Week of Eagle U is a splash! 🏊☀️
Forty enthusiastic students enjoyed an exciting day at the pool, making the most of every minute. From diving for rings and floating with friends to cannonball jumps and friendly games of pool basketball, there was no shortage of fun and laughter.
The greatest highlight of the day wasn't just the activities—it was seeing the genuine smiles, excitement, and joy on each student's face. Moments like these create lasting memories, and we're so grateful to provide experiences that keep our students active, engaged, and having fun all summer long! 💙🦅

On Thursday, May 28, our 4th Grade students enjoyed an incredible adventure at CLCS! This special trip gave them the opportunity to strengthen their bond with the CLCS 4th Grade class while making memories that will last a lifetime.
Students made the most of the great outdoors by playing on the playground, hiking through nature, and exploring the creek. Their day was filled with adventure, teamwork, and discovery as they enjoyed all that nature had to offer.
After an action-packed day outside, students cooled off with a refreshing swim while also learning valuable pool safety skills and building confidence in the water.
From outdoor exploration to water safety and new friendships, this adventure was the perfect combination of fun and learning. We are so thankful for opportunities that allow our students to grow, connect, and experience learning beyond the classroom walls!
💙🌿🏊♂️ What a fantastic day of adventure, friendship, and fun!
