The Class of 2026 Senior Walk 🎓✨
The Class of 2026 returned to where it all began for their traditional elementary school walkthrough.
Watching these seniors walk the same hallways they used to walk through as wide-eyed kids was a full-circle moment. Our elementary students lined the hallways and cheered the graduates on. It was incredibly heartwarming to see the joy, nostalgia, and community spirit fill the air.
Once a Stallion, Always a Stallion!!! Congratulations, Class of 2026!












💡 Brilliant minds at work! 💡
Our Gifted and Talented students absolutely knocked it out of the park at this year’s Independent Project Showcase! The cafeteria was buzzing with incredible energy today as these amazing young researchers proudly displayed their hard work and chatted about their findings with fellow students, teachers, and staff.
The sheer variety of topics on display was mind-blowing. Visitors got to explore an incredible range of subjects, including:
📐 The timeless math of Pythagoras
💻 The groundbreaking legacy of coding pioneer Ada Lovelace
🏥 The revolutionary medical data of Florence Nightingale
🌌 The mind-bending mysteries of Quantum Mechanics
We are so incredibly proud of the deep research, creativity, and confident public speaking skills our GT students displayed. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to support our brilliant thinkers! 👏









🌟 "First, think. Second, believe. Third, dream. And finally, dare." — Walt Disney 🌟
What a magical couple of days! Our students put on an incredible Disney-themed performance last Thursday night for parents, and followed it up with a spectacular Friday morning show for the whole school.
A massive round of applause to our amazing performers and crew for bringing the magic of Disney to our stage! 🎬🎤✨

The 16th Annual Sommer Flugtag Competition was an absolute blast! 🚀
Here is the recap of today’s high-flying (and sometimes high-crashing) festivities:
✈️ The Challenge
Inspired by the legendary Red Bull Flugtag, our students spent the last week engineering flying apparatuses using nothing but recycled materials. We saw some incredible creativity involving:
🏫 Leading from the Top
A massive shout-out to our amazing principal, Ms. Elarms, who took "leading from the top" literally! Braving the heights, our principal climbed up to the roof to personally launch every single student-made device. The energy on the ground was electric as the entire student body watched, cheered, and held their breath to see which designs would soar and which would... gracefully find the ground.
🏆 The Results
From milk carton biplanes to wrapping paper gliders, we saw some impressive aerodynamics today. Whether they flew across the lawn or took a vertical dive, the spirit of innovation was the real winner.
Check out the images to see how much fun the students had!








Upcycling for a Great Cause! ♻️💰
Our brilliant 3rd-graders just wrapped up their Economics Fair, and we couldn't be prouder. These young entrepreneurs spent weeks transforming recycled materials into high-quality "upcycled" products.
The students learned firsthand about production costs, supply and demand, and marketing. But the best part? Every cent raised from the fair is being donated to the Round Rock Serving Center to help our neighbors in need.
🐎 Giddy Up, Sommer Elementary! 🐎
Our 4th Graders took a trip back to the Wild West today for our annual Western Week!
🌵 Today’s Highlights:
The Morning Rodeo: Students kicked things off with Western relay races!
The Afternoon Round-Up: We headed outside for outdoor stations, testing our skills at various western-themed challenges.
The Cookout: Students sat outside for lunch and enjoyed their grub under the Texas sky!
It’s been an unforgettable week. We are bursting with pride over the Texas-sized participation from our 4th-grade wranglers!
