At Smart Diehl Academy, we listen, we care, and we make quick changes (even for our bearded dragons). Because everyone in our space—cold blooded or not—deserves to feel happy, seen, and supported. 💚 #SmartDiehlDragons #JusticeforSpike #classpets #ThrivingTogether #inspiringloveoflearning

✨ Honoring Freedom. Celebrating Progress. Inspiring Hope. ✨

Today, we pause to honor Juneteenth — a day marking the end of slavery in the United States and a powerful reminder that freedom must be protected and equality must be pursued every day.

At Smart Diehl Academy, we are committed to creating a learning community where every child feels seen, heard, and valued. We celebrate our students’ stories, cultures, and voices — today and always.

❤️💚🖤 Happy Juneteenth!

Let’s explore how this kind of magic might fit your family.

From rough to radiant—our rock tumbler unit has taken us on a journey through Earth’s natural processes, one stage at a time! 🌍💎

We’ve explored physical weathering, the rock cycle, erosion, and deposition—all while observing real changes happening inside our tumbler. We even took a brain break to create pet rocks before spring break kicked off! 🐾🎨

Now we’re heading into Stage 3: Fine Grit—where our rocks get their final polish, just like river stones or sea glass smoothed by time. Nature’s work, right in our hands. 💫

Curiosity sparks connection. At Smart Diehl Academy, we celebrate those tiny moments that lead to big discoveries. This is what learning looks like.

From dirt to dreams—look what they built!
We’re still in awe of the 4th grade students, volunteers, teachers, and families from Covenant Day School who transformed our space with their time, teamwork, and love.

Garden beds? Built.
Benches? Beautiful.
Chalkboard? Painted.
Music-scape? Rockin’.
Chicken coop? Coming right up!

They even made time for goat snuggles and duck watching!

Thank you for leaving your mark in the most incredible way @covenantday ! 🩷

A heartfelt thank you to the 4th grade students at Covenant Day School!
For their Goodness Gorillas Day last week, they brought their incredible energy and hearts to Kairos Farm and made a lasting impact on Smart Diehl Academy.

From building a chicken coop, outdoor classroom, and playscape to creating a music scape, their hard work and creativity were nothing short of amazing.

We are so grateful to the students, staff, parents, grandparents, and volunteers who made this possible.
It was truly one of the most incredible and inspiring things I’ve ever witnessed.

Thank you for choosing us and for leaving behind something beautiful for our students to enjoy for years to come @covenantday 💖💖💖
