💛 Happy Nurse Appreciation Week! 💛

At Dreaming Summit, we are so incredibly blessed to have the one and only Nurse Kim caring for our littles every single day! 🩺✨

Nurse Kim goes above and beyond everyday. From the boo-boos and belly aches to the nervous first-timers who just need a familiar, loving face — she handles it all with such grace, patience, and warmth. Our kids don't just feel safe with her... they feel LOVED. And that makes all the difference. ❤️

Nurse Kim, thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and your big heart. We appreciate you more than you know! 🌟

🍎✨ Happy Principal Appreciation Day to the incredible Mrs. Hill! ✨🍎

We are so thankful to have a leader who shows up — every single day — with our students at the heart of everything she does.

Mrs. Hill is always finding creative, fun ways to keep students engaged, connecting teachers with the resources they need to thrive, and bringing in community partners who generously donate supplies to support our school family.

But more than anything, Mrs. Hill has built something truly special at Dreaming Summit — a school culture where students feel seen, supported, and cared for.

Thank you, Mrs. Hill, for your tireless dedication, your big heart, and for making our school the amazing place it is. We appreciate you more than words can say!

As a Purple Star School, we are committed to honoring and supporting our military-connected students — and today we celebrated them! 🌟⭐

Thanks to our community partner, Credit Union West, each of our military students enjoyed cookies and milk and received a special gift bag!

Military students are resilient. They change schools, adapt to new communities, and navigate challenges most kids never face — all while their families serve our country. We don't take that for granted. Being a Purple Star School means we see these students, we support them, and we are proud to have them here.

This past Saturday morning, our amazing girls laced up their sneakers and crossed that 5K finish line — and they were INCREDIBLE! 🎉
