#CandlewoodEagles
🦅💙 WEEK THREE: COMPLETE! 💙🦅
What an AMAZING bunch of students we have at Candlewood STEM Academy! We are wrapping up week three, and I could not be more proud of our Eagles! 💙
As Ms. Latino and I visit classrooms throughout the week, we have been so impressed by the positive personalities, perseverance, and determination we see in our students. Our routines and procedures are in place, learning is happening, and our Eagles are showing us more and more each day just how much they are capable of!
A huge THANK YOU to our families for partnering with us and working so hard with your children. Your support makes such a difference, and we are grateful to have you as part of our Candlewood family. 🫶🏼
We are just getting started, and we cannot wait to see what is to come! 🚀⚙️
Great job, Eagles! Keep SOARing! 🦅✨
Have a wonderful weekend, and we’ll see you Monday! 💙
Let Adventure Take Flight.
Engineered to Fly. Driven to Discover. 🚀
