Week one with our Artist Mark Zimmerman has been amazing for our learners. We look forward to next week with the artist as we all continue to practice our listening and drawing skills.






Friday Fourth Grade Community Visits this week!











We honored our Veteran's today! We started by singing at Tekakwitha and Edgewood. The Veterans joined us for lunch and shared with our learners about the flag and service to and for our country. The day ended with the Veteran's Convoy! It was an amazing day as we celebrated and honored our Veterans.
Thank you for your service!
