These smiling faces had a great week learning a few essential life skills in baking, fractions and cleaning up. I hope their families enjoyed their efforts this week. The aromas were enjoyed by many staff in the building, too.
Summer school? Summer fun!! Thank you to the Stuart and Meghan Brokopp family, Jen and Jerry Volenec and family and Dave Cook from Cook's Christmas Tree farm for letting our small crew of 3rd and 4th grade students visit life on your farm.
