Our Pre-K and Kindergarten students had a wonderful time on their field trip to Mulberry City Park! 🌳☀️

Our students loved having a picnic with each other. Experiences like these help our students build friendships and enjoy the world around them. Thank you to all the parents who came and spent time with our kiddos. Today was fun!

We value our partnerships with local community members and businesses that help support student learning. This year, Ms. Casey Ford from the Franklin County Extension Office visited our school to teach students about the importance of staying healthy and caring for their bodies.

Thank you, Ms. Ford, for sharing your time and helping our students build a strong foundation for healthy living!
