Our third grade family!

Whew...What an amazing week! Our class had a FANTASTIC time at the Walk-a-Thon on Wednesday. I loved watching the kids race peers and siblings, hulla-hoop, walk, skip, and dance around the track. Thank you to those of you involved in the parent team for this fun afternoon. All the elementary buildings raised $40,000! Wow! We are blessed to be a part of such a generous, supportive community! Thank you for helping your child with this fundraiser.
