🐐🐇🐓 What an unforgettable day for our Pre-K students at the petting zoo! Our little learners had an amazing hands-on experience meeting and interacting with goats, rabbits, and chickens. One of the highlights of the day was getting creative by decorating the goats with fun bows and ribbons! 🎀 Experiences like these help our students build confidence, curiosity, and compassion while learning through play and exploration. We are so proud of the joy, kindness, and excitement they showed throughout the trip!

Spring Fest fun continued with two very special style experiences for Charlotte and Holden! 🎉 Charlotte spent the day alongside Mrs. Smith as our Media Specialist for the Day, and she was absolutely outstanding! 📚 She helped check books in and out, kept our library shelves stocked and organized, and assisted with so many important tasks throughout the day. Charlotte truly showed what it means to be a helpful, responsible leader in our media center! Holden had an awesome experience as our Cafeteria Manager for the Day! 🍦🍽️ He got an up-close look at everything that keeps our cafeteria running smoothly, helped make sure the ice cream line was a success, and even got a behind-the-scenes look inside our cafeteria kitchen. Holden did a fantastic job learning all about the hard work that goes into serving our students each day!
