SURPRISE! ☀️ If you see some tiny colorful floaties out in the wild this summer, don't be alarmed—it’s just the Gateway staff on vacation! 🌊

Last week, our teachers and staff "Sipped into Summertime" with some fun drink floaties to take on their adventures. Now, the challenge is on! We’ve asked them to send us photos of their floaties in action, and we want YOU to help us track them.

Our First Traveler:
This cool duck is kicking off the summer right with a great view, some Town House crackers, and a serious game of Monopoly Deal! 🦆🃏

Can you guess where this duck is vacationing? 📍
Drop your best guess in the comments!
Stay tuned all summer long to see where our Raptor family floats to next. Is it the beach? The mountains? A backyard BBQ? Let’s find out! 🥤🏝️

We’re still smiling over here! 🐾 Last week, Mrs. Jackson’s class had some very special visitors for Pet Day. From wagging tails to soft scales, our Raptors loved meeting their classmates' furry (and not-so-furry) friends. There is nothing like a little "paws-itive" energy to help us finish the year strong!
