BINGO has been a fan favorite this month. It's so nice to see students who normally would not interact with each other play on the same team for a game during recess.

When a child feels cared for by their community, their ability to learn and grow expands exponentially.\r\n\r\nThe arrival of the popcorn machine was a moment of pure magic. You should have seen their faces when they saw it! The classroom was buzzing with excitement, and the smell of fresh popcorn immediately turned our space into a place of joy.
