🎶 Congratulations to our talented singers who have been selected for the 2025 Junior High Area All-State Chorus!

We're so proud of Zoey, Abijah, Zavier, Aliana, London, and Nicholas for earning this incredible honor!

On Friday, 17 colleges from around the area came together for our students to explore! Students had the chance to connect with representatives, ask questions, and learn more about the opportunities waiting for them after graduation!

🇺🇸 After learning about the brave first responders who put their lives at risk during the September 11 attacks, students in Mrs. Jines’ class were inspired to take action. They created heartfelt thank you letters for our local first responders, showing appreciation for the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication they give to our community every single day.

This past Friday was AVID Day — and our #MyAVIDWhy is simple: We believe every student can achieve at the highest levels!

Keshequa celebrated AVID Day on Friday, joining schools across the country in recognizing the power of education, the dedication of teachers, and the perseverance of students. This is our second year partnering with AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), a program that helps students build important skills for success in school and in life—like critical thinking, working together, and developing leadership. We’re excited to see how AVID continues to support our students as they grow and achieve their goals!

🎉 A big congratulations to our students who participated in the Soaring Stars Summer Program! 🌟

Throughout the program, students connected with peers from other schools while diving into hands-on STEAM challenges. At Friday’s STEAM Fair, our students showcased projects like soaring cars, light circuits, and more!

When asked about their favorite parts of the program, many shared how much they enjoyed meeting new friends—and learning that building cool stuff takes patience, persistence, and plenty of trial and error!

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!

🎢 Last week, our 6th graders took a trip to Seabreeze for a day full of fun, rides, and memories! From roller coasters to water rides, it was the perfect way to celebrate the end of the school year!

We can’t believe today was our last Friday of the school year! What better way to celebrate than with Middle School Field Day, a high-energy Pep Assembly, and a fun-filled Staff vs. Staff Volleyball Game! What an amazing way to kick off the final countdown to summer! Don’t forget — the last day of school for our UPK–8th grade students is Tuesday, June 24!
