Learning is always sweeter when you can snack on it afterward! ππ

Our amazing 3rd graders learned a powerful lesson in giving today as they packed shoeboxes for children in need around the world!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to our incredible parents, high school helpers, and various groups whose generous donations and volunteer time powered this entire effort. You helped our students share kindness with the world!
