This week we finalized all of the projects and deliverables for the Information Session on Thursday. Families came to the session and walked around the school scanning QR codes that linked to the videos we made about the different programs, academics, opportunities, clubs, and financial aid Marburn offers. Our leadership team came up with the idea to switch up our approach to these information sessions to make them more flexible and accessible. Parents and caregivers were able to take as much time as they wanted to watch the videos and chat with Marburn faculty and staff. It was also a kid-friendly session to allow parents the opportunity to come even if they didn’t have childcare set up. 

Today is Friday and it was the last day of our 2022 summer school program. We celebrated the students with recognition ceremonies and field day activities. Each student was recognized during their ceremony for the hard work and perseverance they showed these past four weeks. Parents and caregivers came to the ceremonies to see their students receive a certificate and encouraging words from their teachers. Celebrating students is a value Marburn Academy participates in regularly. 

After the ceremonies, each division played outside to celebrate the end of summer school. We had a bounce house, an inflatable obstacle course, chalk, frisbee, basketball, bowling pins, etc. To top it off the students enjoyed popsicles after running around in the heat. Today and this week have been eventful and so much fun. I loved seeing all the students smile and play.
