Does anyone have a favorite strawberry pie recipe that you can share? 😃
Our team had a fun time at the Jenschke Orchards Farm this week picking up strawberries and blackberries!
As per the school's tradition, we wrapped up another school year with our end-of-year concert celebrating our students' progress.
Children sang songs, danced, recited poems and played in a small theatrical performance. It's so rewarding to see them getting more and more confident in speaking and performing on stage in their target langauges.
We also had a small graduation ceremony for our 5 kindergarteners this year. Congratulations, parents and class of 2023!
