🎨✏️ Our hallways just turned into an art studio! As a PAWS reward for showing great behavior, students got to participate in a Drop & Draw! Our artists flooded the hallways to create silly pictures and draw with their friends. We're so proud of our creative and respectful wildcats!🥳🖍

Is a thing? Because our 2nd graders threw it back to the 1800s and visited our little red schoolhouse! They got to explore the neighboring cabins and the vintage rooms inside along with sitting at the desks at the schoolhouse. The rain held off and it was a great way to kick off the week! 🍎✨
