Flowing Wells Junior High recently hosted "Life Beyond the Books," a hands-on event where 8th graders learned real-world skills such as cooking, budgeting, car care, and first aid. It’s not every day students get to learn how to change a tire or make an omelette in class, and they loved it!

Thank you to Life Beyond the Books and all of the community partners who shared their time and talents with our students!

One of Our Favorite Traditions: Grad Walks!

Each year, our graduating seniors return to the elementary schools they once attended, welcomed with high-fives, cheers, and smiles from younger students and former teachers. It’s a full-circle moment that celebrates how far they’ve come and inspires the next generation to dream big. We’re so proud of the Class of 2025! 💙💛
