Preschool visited Sisseton Dental Clinic this week and celebrated St. Patrick's Day! Thank you to all that made this possible for our little ones. They daily live all school values and are able to learn all that is presented to them because they do. Thank you parents/guardians/family members, Miss A and Nora for your 'yes' to expect the very best for each of them everyday.
