They had so much fun seeing all the different items they can win. They often have a hard time deciding on what they want to take as a prize because there are so many good options!\r\nWe will continue to use these prizes throughout the year, and we may have enough to use in the next school year as well. We are deeply grateful for your support and excited to get to send these items home with our well-deserved students!
