⛳️🏌️♀️ What a way to wrap up Golf at Eagle U! 🏌️♂️⛳️
Eagle U students celebrated their final day of golf with plenty of fun on the course! Students put their skills to the test in a putting contest to see who could get closest to the pin—and congratulations to Addy, our putting contest winner! 🏆⛳️
The fun continued as students got behind the wheel and enjoyed driving the golf carts! 🚗

Eagle U had an absolute blast during our Ducky Day event! The fun started when students hunted for hidden rubber ducks and raced to find the peer with the matching duck to form their official competition teams.
From there, the energy was unstoppable as partnerships competed in a series of hilarious and fast-paced challenges. Teams tested their skills in duck, duck, find, spoons races, and duck points, followed by a battle of brains during duck trivia. It all came down to an epic, high-stakes duck dance off for the ultimate championship title.
A huge congratulations goes out to Alex, Alivia, Raylynn, and Evelyn for flying past the competition and taking home the grand victory!

Making Waves: Eagle U's Final Swim Day Was a Splash! 🌊🦅
What an unforgettable way to wrap up our swimming season! The Eagle U crew took to the pool for our final swim session, and it was packed with big smiles, hard work, and some seriously amazing milestones.
🎉 Deep End Defeated & Diving Board Dominance!
A massive round of applause for our two superstar students who officially conquered the deep end test! 🏊♂️✨ Their hard work and determination paid off in the coolest way possible: they earned their pool passes to the deep end and got to celebrate by launching themselves off the diving board! Cannonball status: achieved! 💣💥
🌟 Floating Like Rockstars
The rest of our incredible swimmers weren't sitting idly by—they were busy turning into human starfish! The group put in some fantastic effort working on their floating skills. Watching everyone build up their water confidence and relax under the sun was an absolute highlight of the day. 🧜♂️🧜♀️
Thank you to all our swimmers for making this season so safe, fun, and completely splash-tastic. Keep shining and keep swimming, Eagles!

🌟 **A Week of Learning, Exploring & Creating at Eagle U!** 🦅
What a fun and hands-on week at Eagle University! From science exploration to creative play, our students were busy learning, discovering, and having fun! 💙
🔬 **Sink or Float?** 🌿💧
Eagle U kicked off a new STEAM project exploring the world around us! Students collected objects from nature, made predictions about whether each item would **sink or float**, and then tested their predictions. It was a great way to practice observation, questioning, predicting, and problem-solving!
🏖️ **Art Turns Into Recess!** 🎨🪣
Our students are also making the most of the leftover sand from the construction of our giant eagle sculpture! What started as leftover materials has now become our very own **Eagle U campus sandbox**, giving students a fun new space to create, explore, and play.
💦 **Water War!** 💦😎
And, of course, no summer week at Eagle U would be complete without some good old-fashioned fun! On Thursday, students enjoyed a **much-anticipated Water War**! There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and splashes as everyone cooled off and enjoyed some outdoor fun with friends. 💦☀️😂
From STEAM discoveries to creative play and summer fun, it was another **egg-cellent week at Eagle U!** 🦅💙

🛠️✨ STEAM in Action at Eagle U! ✨🌀
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!

Our Eagle U students have been busy stepping into the shoes of real-world engineers! Working on their latest STEAM projects, they didn't just build—they carefully planned out their designs and tested them to see how they worked. When things didn't go perfectly, they got creative, figured out the problem, and redesigned their projects to make them even better. It is amazing to watch their imagination and problem-solving skills come to life!
Eagle U students crafting and having fun!
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.
