Thanks for a fantastic 2024-2025 school year! ❤️💛💙
Today the 2024-2025 school year came to a close. At the end of the day we welcomed our graduating senior eagles back to the nest to lead our 5th graders through the "Grad Walk". This is a beloved tradition at EFA+.
Last night the cast of Elf the Musical Jr gathered to celebrate with a cast party at the State Theatre. They got to view their hard work on the big screen, after waking the red carpet! 🤩
Members of the community joined us for our SmARTs for SmARTs Sake Multiple Intelligences Day.

This past weekend the students of EFA+ presented Elf the Musical Jr! Months of hard work and commitment lead to this moment and the cast delivered four incredible performances.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for holiday magic in May!
3rd grade students continue to work at IronFox Farm. At school they are caring for soil blocks. At the farm they tilled, planted potatoes and beans, and decorated signs.
The sun is shining and the creativity is flowing at recess! ❤️💙💛
The 2nd graders went on a field trip to Landscape Garden Center. They even got to bring a plant home to care for.
A reminder of the Elf the Musical dress up days starting tomorrow:
The Kindergartners went on a field trip to The Great Plains Zoo last Friday!
The kindergartners are having a blast with their Z to A Countdown!
This is a fun way to celebrate a year of learning, review letters, and try new things!
Some favorite K01 moments from this week: R day (Root Beer Floats) and P day (Puzzles)
The best way to spread holiday cheer is dressing up with your school!
Join in on our simple dress up days leading up to Elf the Musical!

The 2nd graders have been working on designing cupcakes all year!
In September they designed cupcakes by drawing, and choosing flavors.
Then Oh My Cupcakes chose 4 student designed cupcakes to produce and sell in their cupcake shops.
In January each 2nd grade class got to visit Oh My Cupcakes for a bakery tour.
For a culminating project, each 2nd grader took their cupcake design drawing and turned it into a 3D sculpture of their cupcake. They used model magic clay, and lots of creativity!
A 2nd grade reading group is reading about Helen Keller. They were given the opportunity to work with a braille board and create their own names.
