🌱 OneClay Leadership Academy 2025 🌱
The past two days were full of collaboration, inspiration, and big ideas at the OneClay Leadership Academy! Teacher leaders and school administrators from across the district came together to share knowledge, learn from one another, and plan for real school improvement.
Our amazing Coppergate teacher leaders showed up in full force—ready to Keep Growing and Make an Impact for the year ahead. 💙💛
Grateful to be part of a district that invests in leadership at every level. Let’s keep the momentum going!

📣 Welcome to our Summer Social Media Series!
📸✨ All season long, we’ll be sharing stories, photos, and moments that reflect the heart of our school—and what it truly means to keep growing together. ✨🌱
As we look ahead to the new school year, our work at Coppergate will be rooted in three big beliefs:
💚 Every child can grow
🎨 Creativity helps kids flourish
🤝 We grow together as a school family
These beliefs will guide everything we do—from instruction and the arts to how we support one another each day.
🌟 Stay tuned! In the coming posts, we’ll dive deeper into what each belief means for our school community and how they’ll come to life in 2025–2026.
Let’s keep growing, Coppergate!
