What’s better than a sunny afternoon, cheerful students, and a visit from the Kona Ice truck? Not much! This week, we had the sweetest celebration for our students who achieved perfect attendance — and it was truly a treat!

Students who showed up every day, on time, and ready to learn (with the exception of excused absences like doctor’s appointments or sports games) were rewarded with a visit from Kona Shaved Ice! The truck rolled right onto campus, instantly crafting smiles all around to help us celebrate the hard work and commitment to showing up every day.

Our teachers were first in line to enjoy a refreshing shaved ice treat — because who can resist a little icy sweetness? Then, it was time for our perfect attendance superstars to enjoy their well-earned reward. Each student got to pick their favorite flavor combination and cool off with a delicious Kona Ice, courtesy of the school.

Meanwhile, our elementary students also joined in on the fun by purchasing their own shaved ice using their Dozer Dollars — special tokens they earn each day for being present and on time. It was wonderful to see our students proudly using the Dozer Dollars they’ve been saving, learning that consistency and responsibility pay off (and sometimes, taste pretty great too!).

The laughter, bright colors, and sticky fingers made for a perfect afternoon of celebration. It was a joy to see so many smiling faces and to honor the importance of showing up — because every day counts!

A big thank you to our amazing teachers, staff, and the Kona Ice team for making this event such a hit. We had a fantastic turnout and can’t wait to keep encouraging and celebrating our students for their dedication and growth.

Here’s to more learning, more laughter, and more reasons to celebrate — one school day at a time!
