🎄✨ Holiday Fun with Student Council! ✨🎄
This week has been full of holiday cheer thanks to our Student Council, who planned several fun, festive activities to spread joy and kindness throughout the school.
On Wednesday, our 6th and 8th graders took part in a special Reading Buddies activity, visiting the Kindergarten and 1st grade classrooms to share stories and smiles. It was wonderful to see older students reading aloud, connecting with the younger classes, and bringing holiday magic to story time.
Thank you to Miss Overton and the Student Council. We’re so proud of our students for showing leadership, kindness, and school spirit. 💛
