Celebrating Constitution Day 🇺🇸

Our Constitution Day celebration was filled with meaningful moments of learning and patriotism! Kindergarten scholars shared their voices through song, while our 5th graders brought the Preamble to the Constitution to life through a special reading.

A heartfelt thank-you to La Société des 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaux of Modesto, California for visiting our first-grade classrooms, sharing a presentation, and gifting our scholars American flags. We are grateful for community partners who help make learning meaningful!
