We’re so proud of a group of 7th grade girls who have gone above and beyond to support our special education students during gym and lunch. Their genuine care, friendship, and leadership have made a meaningful impact. As a small thank-you, we invited them to enjoy a homemade treat and craft activity. It was a great moment to reflect on the positive impact their compassion has made in our school.
