Mt. Peak Family,

As we wrap up another unforgettable year at Mt. Peak, I want to express my deepest gratitude to our students, staff, and families. Your partnership, support, and unwavering commitment have helped make this year one of tremendous growth, celebration, and community. From our students’ academic achievements to the countless moments of joy and character we've witnessed, it has truly been a year to remember.

As we head into summer, I hope each of you finds time to rest, recharge, and create lasting memories with loved ones. We’re already looking forward to welcoming you back in August with fresh energy and excitement for what lies ahead. Until then, thank you for an incredible year—and have a safe and joyful summer!

With much appreciation,

Adam Henke

Principal

We may have just wrapped up the year, but we’re already making big plans for next year! We will miss everyone and we hope you have a great summer. Mark your calendar for our welcome back event! #wildaboutlearning

We had an amazing time celebrating our 5th grade students! This group has been a shining example of leadership at Mt. Peak. They’ve brought statewide recognition to our school through their strong academic performance—earning us a U.S. News Best School Award—and have continued to set the bar high for character and behavior, helping Mt. Peak earn the Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School designation for the second year in a row.

We are so proud of each of you and can’t wait to see all the great things you’ll accomplish in the future!

Thank you to our amazing special team for providing their annual last day dance party for every grade level on Thursday in the library! The students had so much fun dancing and singing along with all their favorites.

We are excited to announce the elected members of the 2025–2026 Student Council! It was a close race in several categories, and we are so proud of all the students who showed courage, responsibility, and leadership by participating. In the end, the results reflected the voice of the student body—because at Mt. Peak, we believe in democracy! Congratulations to our newly elected leaders—we can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll do! Also, there will be the potential to earn a position on the Student Council next school year, if you demonstrate Peak-Positive Traits.

John and his twin brother Liam got to come to school in style on their birthday! They won the PTO silent auction for this great event. They arrived by firetruck and both Mrs. Fincher and Mrs. Fleischman's class were able to greet them outside this morning. It was so much fun for the students to be a part of this! Happy birthday, boys!

Fifth grade ended the year with a slime-tastic celebration! Slime success to wrap up an unforgettable school year!

Congratulations to Ms. McVey’s homeroom!

They earned a popsicle party from Mrs. Hobbs today in recognition of turning in all their library books. Well done!

Teeny Tiny Tuesday was a hit for first grade! So much alternate fun learning this last week!

We loved seeing our students shine on Tuesday during the Talent Show! They did an incredible job showcasing their talents and being such gracious hosts.

A special thank you to Mrs. Cobb, Mrs. Hobbs, and Ms. Demar for coordinating such a terrific event—we appreciate all the time and effort you put into making it a success!

We had one of our favorite events of the year on Monday thanks to PTO! Creature teacher is always such a big hit for all of our students and staff!

Ella enjoyed being Coach for the Day. We were able to celebrate another PTO Auction winner this week.

Peyton was a wonderful Teacher for the Day in Mrs. Hanson’s class on Tuesday. She approved morning journals, led circle time, kept the class focused on their daily tasks and affirmed each and every student for their efforts throughout the day. Way to go Miss Peyton

Mrs. White has had such a wonderful impact on Marshall this year. She is kind, compassionate, and deeply dedicated to her students, always going the extra mile to create a positive and engaging learning environment. She keeps parents well informed with regular updates on classroom activities, events, and his progress, and is always quick to respond to emails, making communication so easy. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about Marshall’s growth and well-being, and I am so thankful for all of her efforts. I truly appreciate everything she does, her impact on Marshall has been invaluable!

• What is Integrity?
  

  Integrity is the ability and willingness to live with honesty and excellence. People who act with integrity make a choice to do the right thing, no matter who is watching. Integrity is the foundation on which we build relationships and trust.

  
  

  Why Focus on Integrity?
  

  • Integrity generates trust. When we are honest and follow through on promises, we gain the confidence of our team; Trust allows us to collaborate and achieve more together.
  • Integrity encourages self-assessment. Integrity requires our regular self-assessment to align behaviors with our goals and self-beliefs.
  • Integrity is essential in leadership. Great leaders decrease anxiety and build strong teams when they are honest, consistent, and responsible.

  Integrity In Action
  

  • Acknowledge and affirm acts of integrity. Publicly praise students who model acts of integrity such as honesty and honor. Encourage students to identify classmates who show integrity.
  • Use scenarios and role-play. Challenge students with real-life scenarios and situations that allow them to reflect, discuss, and choose the best next step or action.
  • Create a culture of accountability. Invite students to give you feedback. Ask students to rate the class based on your Social Contract. Empower students with choice-based consequences.
