Quantum Parent Bulletin #19
December 15, 2025
Dear Quantum Families,
It's hard to believe today is the 76th day of school! I even had the chance to rile up our students by wearing my "7-6" t-shirt today. If you're not sure why that might cause students to react so strongly, ask your child which number is better, "6-7" or "7-6?" 😂
This has been the best year I have ever experienced as a principal and I am absolutely loving working with your children each day. Thank you for your trust and support as we work together to help our students navigate the wild ride of adolescence.
Every phase of our kids' lives are remarkable and I hope that we can all slow down and enjoy the days ahead. Over the break, I am excited to get up to Salt Lake City to visit my 9-month pregnant daughter, her hubby, and our soon to be born grandson! I'm reminded of the quote that "The days go slow but the years go fast!" and I can say that is definitely true in my life as my "baby" is having her own baby now.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Jeremy Lyche
Thank you to all of our parent volunteers and staff who organized and coordinated the Karaoke party this past Thursday as a reward for the Color Run. The students had a blast and we definitely have some amazing singers here at Quantum!
Two amazing 8th grade students, Regan and Ella, are embodying the Quantum core values of "Creating, Persevering, and Impacting the Community" by designing and building a gaga ball pit for Quantum as part of their Girl Scout Silver Award! They are seeking to raise $400 in donations to build a Gaga Ball pit for our school, which will encourage physical activity, teamwork, sportsmanship, confidence, and more.
Gaga ball is a Fast-paced game played in a small octagonal or hexagonal pit. Players hit a cherry ball with their hands, trying to tag others below the knees. Last one standing wins!
You can help by donating using the QR code which links to Venmo profile @Michelle-Mattey. If more than $400 is raised, any additional donations will go towards purchasing sports equipment for the school.
Thanks for considering how you might support these incredible students with even a few dollars!
