Mrs.Graham's class had a great last day of school! We are Too Cool for 1st grade Peace Out!!


Mrs. Johnson's class finished off their last day of 2nd grade with a real life pet coming for our "Pet Show" that went along with our read aloud.




The 2nd graders have taken on the leadership role of raising and lowering the flag and leading the Pledge of Allegiance over the intercom every day.
Today we lowered the flag at the end of the day as a school and watched 2 of our 2nd grade leaders fold the flag. Thank you to Mrs. Wahl for helping them with this each and every day! ❤️🤍💙
