April's Character Recognition Celebration: A Day at the Petting Zoo
In an effort to celebrate our vibrant school community, April's student rewards took a delightful turn with a petting zoo extravaganza in the courtyard! Our students had the unique opportunity to interact with an array of adorable animals, fostering joy and camaraderie among peers and staff. This special day was made possible thanks to the generosity of the Bannerman family, who graciously shared their home petting zoo with us. Additional thanks go to Mr. Owen, our dedicated environmental tech, and several others who contributed their beloved animals to the event. The courtyard was alive with laughter and excitement, creating memories that will be cherished for years to come. We invite you to relive the day's vibrant spirit by browsing through the photo gallery, capturing the smiles and pure joy brought by our furry guests!
