We're feeling extra grateful! A huge thank you goes out to Vickie and Jimmy Lanckriet for their generous donation of two wonderful books to each student in our kindergarten class. 📚
The classics "Oh, The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss and "The Night Before Kindergarten" by Natasha Wing will surely become favorites among our young readers. These books are perfect for encouraging a love of reading and helping our little ones navigate the exciting world of kindergarten.
Your support means the world to us and our students. It's community members like you who make a real difference in children's education. 💖
Each teacher that these students have throughout their years of schooling will write a little note and the students will get the "Oh the Places You'll Go" book at their graduation. 🎓
Again-thank you!!
