HUGE shoutout to one of our first graders family, United States Associstion of Blind Athletes, some wonderful grad students, and Mrs. Mac for putting on Goalball for our students. Yesterday was a day full of learning, inclusion, and fun! Students got to play a game of Goalball and experience how visually impaired people play the game. Thank you to everyone who participated and taught our students how great differences are! 🐾💙

What a spectacular night we had with our families at our Multicultural Festival! There was much love, music, fun, and smiles to be shared. Thank you to our families and staff who either helped or brought a yummy dish. Everything was perfect about this night but it wouldn’t have been possible without everyone coming together! We love our Thornton community and all the different cultures that come with it! 🐾💙
