🚌 Our Kinder SEALs hit the road today! 🦭

Our littlest learners practiced riding the bus, learning all about the rules and how to stay safe. A huge thank you to Ms. Erika for being such an amazing driver and teacher—our students had a blast and are ready for the school year to roll! 💨

🎉 Our first day of Jumpstart was a HUGE success! 🎉

Our students met their teachers outside and walked into Swift Water like they've always been here! 📚 They read stories, did centers, went out to recess, enjoyed snack time, and met so many new friends. We can't wait to do it again tomorrow!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents—don't forget! 📍 Parent Connection Event at 11:00 AM 🍕 Bring a blanket for a pizza lunch on the playground!

We hope to see you there! 💙
