Fourth grade was the ONLY grade to meet the goal! 🏆
Huge shoutout to our 4th graders, their parents, and their amazing teachers, Mrs. Kent and Ms.Bakarich, for making sure students are present at school and actively engaged in their learning.
Way to go, Fourth Grade! Keep it up! 💪📚

Stay warm tonight, and we’ll see you soon!
