Snow Day Flashback - One of our classes celebrated the 100th Day of School in a truly special way, with a very special visitor! A student’s great-great grandfather joined the class to share his experiences and advice after living through nearly a century of history. As students have been learning about life long ago in social studies, hearing his firsthand stories brought their learning to life. What a meaningful reminder that learning connects generations and that every day in school helps our students grow wiser and stronger. 💛
