Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19, commemorates the emancipation of those who were enslaved, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, we recognize and celebrate this important day of freedom and reflection. We honor its significance and the importance of learning from our shared history.

What a year it's been! 💙💚

As we wrap up our very first year of YBASE at CELA, we're filled with gratitude for the incredible students, families, and school staff who welcomed us with open arms and helped make this program feel like home from day one.

A special shoutout goes to Adam, whose leadership as Site Supervisor helped create a safe, fun, and caring environment where kids could learn, grow, and just be kids. His dedication and enthusiasm made a lasting impact on so many children and families this year.

To the CELA community—thank you for an amazing first year. We are so grateful for your partnership and can't wait to see what next year brings!

Here's to a fantastic first chapter and many more memories to come. ☀️📚🎉

After 9 years of nurturing curious minds, celebrating milestones, and helping countless little learners grow, Ms. Cammi is closing a beautiful chapter as she begins her retirement.

As a special thank you, her final preschool class presented her with the book "Because I Had a Teacher"—signed with each of their names. A simple gift, but one filled with love and a reminder of the many lives she has touched over the years.

While this class may have been her last, the kindness, patience, and joy Ms. Cammi brought to the classroom will live on in the hearts of the children and families she served.

Thank you, Ms. Cammi, for nine wonderful years of making a difference. We wish you all the happiness and adventures retirement has to offer. 💙💚

Our 2026 Dance Recital was one for the books! It was so much fun watching our dancers take the stage with confidence and show off everything they've learned. From our youngest performers to our most experienced dancers, everyone gave it their all and made the day special. Great job to all of our performers, and thank you to everyone who came out to support them!

Athletes brought the energy to the 2026 State Track Meet! It was incredible seeing them show up with hard work, great sportsmanship, and a lot of heart, even through the heat. From start to finish, they competed, supported each other, and pushed through every event. Great job to all athletes, and thank you to the families for coming out, along with all of the coaches and volunteers who made the day possible!
