What an amazing and memorable day for our 1st graders! Thanks to Travis Krueger and Sue Roe, our unsung heroes, they work tirelessly behind the scenes keeping our grounds looking great and our buildings functioning smoothly.
They hosted a fantastic event where every student built their own mini golf or soccer game with Home Depot kits. It was great to see the students creativity.
A huge shout-out also goes to our wonderful bus drivers, Janet, Carla, and Lisa, who taught us all about bus safety and helped with the kits.
