Keshequa Elementary School

🎉 The last day of school was an absolute blast! 🎉 We kicked things off with our Middle School and Elementary School Award Ceremonies—congratulations to all of our students recognized for their hard work this year! And of course, no last day would be complete without our fun water send-off at the elementary school—a favorite tradition to start summer off right! A huge thank you to our amazing bus drivers for being such great sports during the splash-filled send-off! Have a fun, safe, and relaxing summer—we'll see you back in September!

Our 3rd and 4th graders recently took part in our Careers on Wheels event! This hands-on career day gave students the chance to explore a variety of professions that rely on vehicles or machinery to get the job done — from fire trucks and tractors to dump trucks and more! A big thank you to all the professionals who shared their time, tools, and talents with our students!
