Thank you 7 Brew Coffee for spoiling our staff today! 🤩

Mrs. Sewing's class read the book, If I Built a House. Each student then imagined what kinds of rooms they would put into their pretend house. After they planned out their ideas, they drew a map of what their house might look like. There were racecar rooms, paw patrol rooms, flying rooms, fishing rooms, princess rooms and so many more!
