Christmas Break Fun
A few of you shared photos related to what you did on Christmas Break. We love seeing the variety — from silent and somber to messy and fun. There are a mix of students here from Learnwell North Georgia and from Learnwell’s Navigator Program. Thanks for sharing! We hope the break was restorative and refreshing for everyone.

Looking Back
As we look ahead to a new year, it’s sometimes fun to look back at what we’ve done so far. Here are a few photos from school last semester.
Middle School Memories
Middle school students discussed books they were reading, encouraged one another, and enjoyed just hanging out at lunch or in the library.

Looking Ahead
As we look ahead to 2022, we have a “sneak peek” of some fun visitors coming to school in January. Our hope is that Learnwell students will find it fun and engaging to learn from these visits.
- Thursday, January 13: Author Charity Rios – Charity is a mom of four, has a master’s degree in education, and has written a children’s book to help children discover their identity in Christ to combat anxiety. She will be speaking virtually to our K-5th grade students about her journey to becoming an author.
- Thurs., January 20: Discover Science Center – Discover Science Center will be showing our students some hands-on activities related to the structure of matter.
In the coming months, expect good things:
Our school will be hosting field trips again in March — once the weather starts warming up. We have a few educational field trips geared toward just K-5 and something just for our middle school students. There will be an outdoor Market Day where you can invite friends; a Pop Bar day at school (an optional opportunity to send in money so that your child can purchase a Pop Bar from our community business partner, Pop Bar Alpharetta); the Science and Innovation Fair; an outdoor Walk for Water and the Arts Showcase.
We hope you’re excited about 2022. Bring on the new year!
