What a great turnout for Key Club’s first event of the year! Students created cards that will be delivered to local nursing homes, spreading a little kindness throughout our community. 💌

Want to join in? Key Club will be making more cards tomorrow, Friday, August 28, from 7:15–8:00 AM in Ms. Duvendack’s room.

🚗👶 Hands-on learning in action!

A big thank you to our Canton PD Sro, Candi, for helping our Parenting class take their learning outside for a car seat installation demonstration!

Students had the opportunity to see firsthand how to properly install and secure a car seat—an important real-world skill that can make a big difference in keeping little ones safe.

We love opportunities that bring classroom lessons to life!
