Way Elementary Connection 05.15.2026

Dear Way Families,

This week has been filled with connection, celebration, and meaningful learning experiences for our students! One of the highlights of the week was releasing our salmon yesterday after months of watching them grow from tiny eggs into healthy fish. Our students showed incredible curiosity, responsibility, and wonder throughout the entire process. Experiences like this help students see the power of patience, teamwork, and caring for something bigger than themselves. It was a memorable moment for everyone involved!

We are also excited to welcome Cirque Amongus to our school this Tuesday! This engaging program combines circus arts, movement, creativity, and teamwork in a way that helps build confidence and strengthen relationships among students. Through the lens of Capturing Kids’ Hearts, we know that students learn best when they feel connected, valued, and part of a supportive community. Cirque Amongus is a wonderful opportunity for our students to encourage one another, step outside of their comfort zones, and celebrate both effort and perseverance.

Educationally Yours,

Jeff Brown
