June Highlights and Happenings


Dear Reader,

June has been a month of celebration at Diener as we wrap up another incredible school year together. Across classrooms, events, and everyday moments, we’ve seen so much growth, joy, and connection, and we are so proud of all that our students and staff have accomplished.

As we close this school year, we also look ahead with excitement to our 20th year, a meaningful milestone in Diener’s journey and a wonderful opportunity to honor our past while looking forward to what’s next. Keep an eye out for more information in the coming months about special events and celebrations planned for this milestone year.

Below are a few highlights from this final month of the school year.

End of the Year Celebration

We were so excited to come together for our End of Year Party as we wrapped up another incredible school year at Diener. The day was filled with joy, laughter, and celebration as students and staff enjoyed an afternoon of fun together.

From the dunk tank and ice cream truck to music, games, and plenty of smiles, there was something for everyone to enjoy. It was a wonderful way to celebrate all of the hard work from throughout the year and to close the year together as a community.

Celebrating Culture, Community, and Competition – The Diener Olympics 2026!

Our annual Diener Olympics once again brought our community together for a week filled with teamwork, sportsmanship, and global learning. Students proudly represented countries from around the world, participated in friendly competitions, explored different cultures, and cheered one another on every step of the way. The week concluded with an exciting Staff vs. Students Dodgeball Game and a festive Closing Ceremony where we celebrated the accomplishments of all our athletes.

Our young Olympians showcased not only their athletic skills, but also incredible sportsmanship, teamwork, and school spirit. Most of all, they had a ton of fun.

A special thank you to our alumni students who volunteered for this special event and brought energy, enthusiasm, and school spirit back to campus. Watching them reconnect with teachers, support our students, and be part of the celebration was truly heartwarming.

Celebrating the Class of 2026

We proudly celebrated the accomplishments of our graduating eighth grade students as they prepared to embark on their next educational journeys. Graduation is always a special moment at Diener, offering an opportunity to reflect on growth, perseverance, friendships, and achievements.

Throughout their time at Diener, these students have developed confidence, discovered their strengths, and built meaningful connections within our community. As they move on to high school and new opportunities, they do so with the skills, resilience, and self understanding that will serve them well in the years ahead.

We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2026 and grateful to have been part of their journey. We wish them continued success and look forward to seeing all they accomplish in the future.

As we close out this incredible year, we want to thank each and every member of the Diener community, including students, families, staff, and friends, for your continued support, encouragement, and dedication. We’re so proud of all our students and excited to see what the future holds for them. Wishing you all a joyful, restful summer filled with new adventures and cherished moments.

We hope to see you soon!
