RISE Academy of Lifelong Learning

Hello, Facebook friends!

We are so excited about launching our Adopt a Classroom page! Our first project is for double sided chairs for flexible seating. These seats will really help in the classroom as many of our students have a very difficult time sitting in regular chairs. Thank you in advance for supporting and sharing our Rise Academy of Lifelong Learning page!

He is Risen! Happy Easter from Rise Academy! ☀️🙌
Today, we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! It is a day of overwhelming joy, victory, and the beautiful promise of new life.

At Rise Academy, our students have been busy celebrating the season and taking their creativity outdoors, filling our sidewalks with Easter eggs of their own design. We love seeing our students work together, side-by-side, reflecting the love of Christ through their friendship and creativity.

Whether our families are participating in Easter egg hunts today or gathering around the table for a meal, we hope your day is filled with laughter and love.

From all of us at Rise Academy, we wish you a wonderful Easter Sunday! ✝️

Wishing you a blessed Good Friday and a restful, joyful weekend ahead!

Happy World Autism Awareness Day

At Rise, this day isn't just a date on the calendar, it’s a celebration of the incredible students who bring unique perspectives, strengths, and brilliance to our hallways every single day.

At Rise, inclusion isn’t just a buzzword, it’s our daily reality.

💙 Side-by-Side Learning: Our students with autism work right alongside their peers, collaborating on projects and sharing ideas.
💙 Diverse Perspectives: We recognize that every learner processes the world differently, and those differences make our classroom discussions richer.
💙 A Culture of Belonging: From the playground to the lab, our students support one another, building a community rooted in empathy and mutual respect.

We are committed to providing an environment where every student feels seen, heard, and empowered to reach their full potential, including our neurodivergent learners!

"It all began with a shoe on the wall. A shoe on the wall?! Shouldn't be there at all!" 👟🙃

Things were getting a little strange yesterday! It was Wacky Wednesday and our students made sure to wear wacky outfits and be super silly all day!

"It is fun to have fun, but you have to know how!"

The Cat was back! Yesterday we honored the most famous hat in history. Students grabbed their red, black, white, or stripes and joined in on the fun!

"I do not like them, Sam-I-am. I do not like green eggs and ham!" 🍳💚

We kicked off Dr. Seuss Week on Monday by wearing GREEN! We made green eggs and ham, and enjoyed reading together.

Brushing Up on Dental Health at Rise Academy!

February was Dental Health Month, and at Rise Academy, we had a fantastic time learning all about keeping our smiles healthy and bright! Our students dove into some engaging activities that made learning about oral hygiene fun and memorable.

One of our favorite activities involved our dry-erase brushing activity. We drew pretend germs on the smile, and then our students got to work, brushing away the germs with toothbrushes and learning the importance of good dental hygiene! It was a hands-on way to practice getting rid of those cavity-causing culprits.

We were so impressed with how eager and focused our students were during these activities. They learned about proper brushing techniques, the importance of flossing, and healthy eating habits that contribute to strong teeth and gums.

We hope this lesson is the start of raising the future of dentistry!
