LEAD Academy

Chess Club is officially underway at LEAD! ♟️ Big thanks to Think Move Chess for helping our students kick off the year thinking ahead, planning their moves, and building confidence one game at a time. We can’t wait to see them grow!

Last week our 8th graders went rock climbing—pushing limits and conquering challenges inside and outside of the school walls! 🧗‍♂️💪

Falcon Surprise! 🎉Today our students were surprised with a visit from Sky, one of the Harlem Globetrotters! 🏀 They loved hearing from him, seeing his skills in action, and learning some new tricks along the way!

On Friday, students who reached their iReady Winter goals celebrated their hard work and success with a Silent Disco! Students who met one of their stretch goals in Reading or Math received a glow stick, and those who met both their Reading and Math goals received LED glasses.

Everyone had an amazing time grooving to the music and celebrating their achievements together. We look forward to recognizing even more student success after our spring round of iReady testing!

History made! 🏀🔥

Both our girls and boys basketball teams powered through the first round of the playoffs and are headed to the Final Four!

Both teams are back in action Monday - way to go Falcons!

Always fun learning a brand new sport! Thank you to Teqball Greenville for introducing this exciting game to us!

Hands-on science in action from last week! 🧪🐸 Mrs. King and Mrs. Espinosa are preparing Lead’s future doctors, biologists, and veterinarians.

What a way to wrap up Curiosity Day! Our 4th–8th graders chose activities they were curious about and jumped right in. Thank you to The Secret Cirkus, ATA Karate, Kidokinetics Greenville, and Foothills Fencing for inspiring our students!

It’s not every day you bring the circus to school! 🎪 Lead is definitely embracing curiosity today. Huge thanks to the Secret Cirkus for teaching us about circus arts—and the joy of trying new things!

Kicked off the morning with K-3 Curiosity Day. Thank you to the Home Depot, Kidokinetics, ATA Karate and i9 for leading our students through some exciting new activities!

Love that our Fun Fridays not only allow us to try new things, they also give our middle school students an opportunity to use their leadership skills. Today our K-3 students get to learn about our band program, try out woodworking and create fossils, all led by our middle schoolers!

It sure is a good time to have a meteorologist visit! 🌧️ We loved hosting Bradford Ambrose from WYFF4 today. Thank you for sharing your expertise and bringing our 3rd grade meteorology lesson to life!

Please join us in wishing these staff members an amazing birthday! We are so grateful for all they do for our students!

Congratulations to all of our 5th–8th grade students who were recognized for living out our core values and mission: Be Nice. Work Hard. Serve Well. Have Fun. 👏🎉

We are so proud of each of you and the example you set every day!

Happy 100th Day of School! It's cold outside, but these 100 year olds have to warm your heart!

Once a Falcon, always a Falcon! 🦅

We loved celebrating our Kindergarten through 4th grade students at their semester awards ceremony last week! The pride on their faces said it all—job well done! 🎉 We can’t wait to celebrate our 5th-8th graders Friday!

New year, same Falcon pride! 🏀📣

Starting this day off with a special surprise for the kids. Thanks for visiting Reedy!
