🦚 Welcome to the World, Little Peachicks! 🦚

A few weeks before school let out, we had a very special visitor decide to make Roberto Clemente her temporary home. Meet Pearl, a beautiful mother peacock who chose a quiet spot on our campus to lay her four eggs.

Our amazing staff and students made sure Pearl had the privacy and safety she needed, putting up a "Hatching in Progress" sign so she could rest undisturbed.

We are absolutely thrilled to share that just this week, all four of her beautiful babies officially hatched! 🥰 swipe through the photos and check out the video to see Pearl proudly leading her new little family around campus.

At Roberto Clemente, we do not just educate our future leaders, we are also a sanctuary where life, compassion, and community thrive. 💙🌱

Help us welcome Pearl’s little ones to the world!

🐾 What a day to be a Jaguar! 🐾
Our Jaguars had an absolute blast today during their All Complete Retreat! To celebrate the final nine weeks, campus was turned into the ultimate fun zone. From epic video game battles and intense board game showdowns to flying high on the bounce houses and playing sports all over campus, our students earned every bit of this celebration! 🎮🎲🏰⚽
Huge thank you to everyone who brought their incredible energy today. We are so proud of our Jaguars and loved celebrating their hard work together! 💛🖤

👑🕺 DANCING INTO HIGH SCHOOL! 💃👑
Today, we celebrated our incredible 8th graders with their official End-of-the-Year Dance! The music was loud, the outfits were amazing, and the energy was through the roof.

A huge congratulations to our newly crowned 8th-Grade King and Queen, Vu and Sierely!🏆✨

We are so incredibly proud of this class and can't wait to see all the amazing things they do in high school. Drop your favorite photos from the dance in the comments below! 👇📸

Tonight, we celebrated all the incredible achievements our 8th graders have made throughout their middle school careers! 🎓✨
We are so incredibly proud of each and every one of them. We know that wherever their journeys take them next, they will continue to achieve great things.

This evening was also extra special as we introduced a brand-new honor: The Roberto Clemente Lift Others Award. 🏆
We were thrilled to present this inaugural award to one of our very own amazing parents, Mr. Jose Martinez! Mr. Martinez was recognized for his unwavering dedication to our community—always being there for our students and lifting them up, even when they felt defeated. Thank you for embodying the true spirit of our school, Mr. Martinez! ❤️

Remember to always Live the Code—learn, lead, and lift others. 💙🌟

Good morning Roberto Clemente Families,
