We have lift off | Week One

The Journey has begun!

It all began last Saturday as our families and heroes crossed the threshold into the unknown. Their journey has begun and they couldn't be more excited.

As our heroes took in their first few days this week, we fielded a number of phone calls from interested families as they saw our new school become a reality! Spots are going to be full for the spring and our Fall list is ever growing too.

What a week! From our launch party last Saturday with our founding families to completing our lip dub challenge. What a full amazing week as we launched our brand new alternative school in Lincoln, Nebraska!

Launch Party

This included the Acton tradition of the “Threshold Ceremony” where founding families symbolically choose Acton and to embark on a Hero’s Journey as they cross the threshold from the ordinary world into an extraordinary one.

​After letting our heroes explore their new space we then completed a second Acton tradition of palm painting. Here we invited our founding heroes and their parents to leave their mark on the space.

Lip Dub

Our heroes worked hard in their first full week. They took on many challenges and drank information from a firehose!
​
One of their team-building challenges was to create a lip dub video, after some initial failures they adapted their plan and put together this fun version of a Frozen song.
