Autumn Adventures at Learnwell 🎨🍂
October was packed with excitement and community spirit! From cheering each other on at the Fun Run to showing off creativity during Spirit Days and Costume Week, joy was everywhere on campus. As students continued to grow in both learning and connection, this month reminded us how vibrant life at Learnwell can be when we work hard, play joyfully, and learn together in every season.
FUN RUN
This month kicked off with our students raising funds in a lively and engaging way through our annual Fun Run! It was a day full of energy, teamwork, and school spirit, and a wonderful reminder that giving back can be fun, healthy, and community-centered.
K – 2ND GRADE
October was a fun time for our young learners! From painting to costumes, it was a delight to see our students express themselves!
Kindergarteners experienced StoryLab and had plenty of opportunities to paint, especially pumpkins!
1st graders tasted delicious apples and had their first ice cream party! Our Tuesday/Thursday class had a pajama day for winning one of the Fun Run’s daily fundraising competitions!
Our 1st and 2nd M/W Class created fun fall crafts, explored with magnets, and had their very own publishing party!
From craft days to small groups, our 2nd-grade Tuesday/Thursday class had a great time learning in different ways! They had so much fun playing math games to practice their new skills!
SPIRIT DAYS! 🦉
One of the highlights of October was seeing students show off their school spirit—whether by dressing up to support their favorite teams or getting creative with fun costumes!
We also held a Red Robin fundraiser during one of our spirit days, adding even more excitement to a lively month.
3RD – 5TH GRADE
Our upper elementary students are thriving this October! They continued building confidence and independence while diving into new projects and collaborating in groups. With each activity, they’re growing as learners and strengthening their teamwork skills.
3rd graders enjoyed petting the service dog and worked in groups! They practiced an egg drop challenge, learned parts of speech, and had multiplication fun!
Our 4th graders, including some 5th graders, made multiple crafts, explored the StoryLab, and were able to write while being outdoors!
Our 5th graders know how to have fun even on rainy days! From algebraic reasoning puzzles to spelling practice, our students continue to excel!
PARENT INVOLVEMENT ☕️🛠️
From coffee mornings to workdays, we’re so thankful for all the parents who give their time, energy, and support to make our school community thrive!
6TH – 8TH GRADE
October brought energy and connection for our middle schoolers! From spirited theme days and fall festivities to engaging classroom projects, students continued to grow both academically and socially. They’re learning to balance responsibility with fun—showing leadership, teamwork, and creativity in everything they do. We’re proud of the momentum they’re carrying into the rest of the semester!
6th graders explored the solar system by creating their own planets!
Our 7th graders had an exciting month! They teamed up with their younger buddies for fun learning activities, presented creative ELA projects, and explored space science through a hands-on meteoroid demo and planet studies.
Our 8th graders visited the Little White House, gaining a deeper appreciation for history and leadership, and brought science to life by exploring Newton’s three laws of motion—especially inertia and the effects of friction.
BARN DANCE
Our 6th–11th graders kicked up their heels at the annual Barn Dance, celebrating friendship and fun together.
9TH – 11TH GRADE
October was a month of balance and connection for our high schoolers. Between academics, friendships, and fall activities, students found ways to challenge themselves while enjoying the season.
Our 9th graders dug deeper into their AP Human Geography class this month! They examined cultural landscapes by studying how familiar places—like McDonald’s—reflect the blending of global and local influences. It was a creative and insightful way to connect real-world examples to what they’re learning in class.
Our 10th graders brought literature to life this month—literally! While studying Frankenstein in ELA, they created models of Victor’s creature, exploring themes of creation, responsibility, and humanity in a hands-on way. It was a creative and memorable way to deepen their understanding of the novel.
11th graders enjoyed taking their class photo on School Picture Day in October! They also had their AP US History class with Ms. Castro, which challenges the 11th graders to think deeply!
BERRY COLLEGE
Our 9th and 10th graders had an inspiring visit to Berry College this month! During the preview day, they explored the beautiful campus, learned about college life, and began envisioning their own paths beyond high school.
LOOKING AHEAD TO NOVEMBER
November is shaping up to be a month full of focus, creativity, and celebration! Freshmen will engage in special Freshman Focus activities to set goals and reflect on growth. Students across grades will showcase their ingenuity at the Innovation Expo. Families can look forward to time together over Thanksgiving Break as we wrap up the month with gratitude and connection.
