It was Queen and King Day at Addams and thanks to Burger King everyone who wanted one got a crown!

We practiced our bows and curtsy and clapped as kids entered the school! It was met with smiles and giggles and was such a great way to start the day!

Hope Presbyterian Church has loved us so well for many years! They care for our families by providing extra food baskets around the holidays and they serve in our library!

This has been one of the sweetest community partnerships this year!

Springfield Christian Preschool donated boots to our snow boot drive in the winter and then last month when our students had to complete some state testing, they made each student a gift bag and each class an encouraging sign!

We ars so grateful for their kindness towards our students!
