🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 Our teachers are feeling extra lucky thanks to our wonderful PTO, who put together this fun and colorful spread for us this week! 🌈 We truly appreciate all the love and support you show our staff! You’re our pot of gold! 💚

Today, our 4th and 5th grade students had an exciting visit by the Southland Dairy Farmers Mobile Dairy Classroom! 🐄🥛 Students learned all about dairy cows, how milk is produced, and the many health benefits of dairy products. From start to finish, they were highly attentive, engaged, and eager to learn. A big thank you to Southland Dairy Farmers for bringing this interactive and educational experience to our school. We are so grateful for the opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences! (Be sure to check out the photos below! 📸)
