Spectrum Academy

What a fun way to end the semester! Comfy Cozy Day was the perfect wrap-up to our festive week. Students and staff had a blast, ending the day with hot cocoa and sweet treats - proof that learning is better in cozy pjs and lots holiday cheer! 🎄☕ You kiddos are the best, and we are so thankful for you! Enjoy the break! ❤️

❄️ WINTER BREAK IS HERE! ❄️

Winter Break has arrived, and we’re wishing our students, employees, and families a restful, joy-filled break. May the days ahead bring time to slow down, recharge, and soak in the magic of the season—whether that means cozy moments, special traditions, or simply time together.

We can’t wait to welcome students and staff back in the new year as we continue a school year rooted in excellence. Classes resume January 5.

Happy Friday, everyone! Today is the last day of the semester, and someone couldn’t resist celebrating… 👀 That sneaky little elf was up to all sorts of mischief last night, working extra hard to decorate the tree, with a little help from St. Nick himself! 🎄🎅✨ We love a little Holiday Chaos + Magic! 🪄💫

Ugly Sweater/Shirt Day = BIG holiday vibes! No ugly sweaters here, just some festive winter wear. Did you happen to spot that North Pole stowaway hitching a ride with Mr. Sweazey and his surfing Santas! 👀🎅 Tomorrow is PAJAMA & HOT COCOA DAY!

We had an incredible evening at the School Related Employee of the Year banquet last night! ✨ Mrs. Danielle Pfeiffer represented Spectrum Academy with such grace and pride. The night was all about celebrating some of the most dedicated, giving individuals in our district - the people who help our schools thrive every single day. Mrs. Pfeiffer is without a doubt one of those extraordinary people. She pours her heart into supporting our students and staff, and we are so grateful to call her a Spectrum Academy Eagle! 🦅 Congratulations, Mrs. Pfeiffer, you shine! 🌟

Eagles, let’s bring a little fun and holiday cheer to campus next week! Each day will feature a festive fun fact and a special activity tied to that day’s theme. Show your holiday spirit each day and let’s wrap up an awesome semester and end the year on a joyful note. ☃️🎅🏾🕎🎄❄️

IRSC representatives will be on campus for juniors and seniors, but all students are welcome to speak with them. Stop by the office to learn more.

🦃🧡

This Thanksgiving season, Spectrum Academy is especially grateful for our incredible community. Thanks to the generosity of one of our Eagle donors, Mike Braid, we were able to secure 30 turkeys. With additional contributions from our amazing staff and additional donors, we collected over 30 bags of food to support Eagle families who needed a little extra support this holiday. At Spectrum Academy, we are a community and no one is ever alone. 🦅 Wishing all our students and families a very Happy Thanksgiving! We love you! 🦃🍁💛

The Eagles ended the week before Thanksgiving Break on a high note with a surprise activity afternoon! (The staff didn't even know this was happening today!) Big thanks to Mrs. Thurston & Mr. Hogg for getting us outside and moving on this gorgeous day! ☀️🦅

We’re letting the sunflowers from our garden set the tone for this Thursday. The bees are buzzing happily through the blooms, and the Eagles are welcoming only sunshine and happiness today. 🌻✨🐝

🍁THANKSGIVING BREAK REMINDER🍁

Good news, Martin County families: Thanksgiving Break is almost here, and yes… students and teachers still have the entire week off (Nov. 24–28)! 🙌

Since we didn’t need to use any emergency makeup days this year, the full week remains wide open for rest, gratitude, and perhaps a piece of pie or two. 🥧🦃✨
