Week 10

✨Summer Sparks: Week 10✨

One Last Spark Before School Starts! 🎉🌈

Hi Greathouse families!

Before we switch gears to pencils, planners, and first-day photos  — we’ve got one final spark to send your way! 📚📅📸

Whether you joined us every week or just peeked in here and there, we want to say THANK YOU for letting our little sparks sprinkle some joy into your summer. You’ve made us smile, giggle, and cheer from behind the scenes! 💛

This week’s edition is a celebration — a Best Of Recap, a Family Favorites Poll, and a final round of gratitude for the creative magic you’ve shared with us all summer long. 🌟

🏆The Summer Sparks Highlights Reel

Let’s take a look at just some of the fun YOU helped bring to life this summer:

🎨Saindhavi’s painted kindness rocks and rainbow-colored flag flew high in our hearts

💌Her adorable compliment chain and thoughtful art kept kindness rolling

🎭 Airaa’s puppet show video (complete with endearing giggles!) totally stole the spotlight

🖍️Eleanor, Marty, Shona & Shrena wowed us with colorful rain cloud drawings

💦Backyard games turned epic thanks to our “Splash & Dash” challenge

📚You all recommended some amazing books — and many families cuddled up with Saturday or The World Needs More Purple People

🧠And oh, the riddle answers! From “Florida” and “tatertot” to “keyboard” and “smell of my favorite food,” your guesses were clever, hilarious, and pure gold ✨

From banana bites and frozen kabobs to sun prints and shadow science — you made summer SPARKLE in the best ways. Thank you for sharing your sunshine. 💛🌞

📊Tell Us Your Favorite!

Help us pick the Ultimate Summer Spark!

Was it the puppet show? The frozen kabobs? A kindness mission that made someone smile?

We’ll share the top “fan favorites” during Back-to-School Bash week!

We may not have broken the internet — but we built something better:

📸shared moments of kindness, creativity, and laughter.

And that? That’s exactly the kind of spark that keeps our school glowing. 💛

We can’t wait to see you soon.

With love, sunshine & PTA sparkle,
