It was such a wonderful event with lots of activities, games, interactive stations for art, music, dance, and literacy, and wonderful therapy dogs. 😄🐶📚
Our hallways were lined with student self-portraits, creating a stunning gallery for families to browse. The night's highlights included a vibrant live musical performance by Mariachi Colima, a popular free book fair and family photo station, and exciting raffle baskets for attendees.🎊🎁🎼
