What an incredible morning at our Market Day event! 🎉 Our students put in weeks of hard work making their products, advertising, and selling. Every shop earned a movie ticket after turning in their profits to the bankers! 🍿 A huge shout-out to Mrs. Smith for her hard work on this year's commercials! Also a HUGE thank you to all of the donations of items that we received from our parents. Without those donations, this school wide event would not be possible! 🌟
Don't forget our May dress up days! The first two days did not disappoint.
Congrats to Ms. Cortes and Mr. Cole on finishing up their student teaching!
