💜 If you see a BRAVE, tell them GREAT JOB on improving their i-Ready Math skills this year! 📈➕

Plory from the i-Ready Math platform flew all the way from Massachusetts to visit with Ms. Wilkes and Mr. Dugano as she wished our BRAVES much success while they continue to level up on their math journey! 🚀💜

All the kids (and staff) absolutely adored her special visit! Special thanks to our math coach, Mrs. Vachella for supporting our teachers and students this year🫶✨
