🤣🤣🤣 This is how you build school culture! ❤️🐎

One of the best things about teaching in a small town is that you get to see your students out and about over the weekend, too! 😂 You can never escape the Mustangs! 🐎💙

To think that Vernal City Manager Quin Bennion, the Vernal City staff, Chief of Police Mike Gledhill, and our amazing parent volunteers would take time out of their very busy schedules to spend time with our students is truly mind-blowing! 💙

Thank you for teaching our students about what it takes—and who it takes—to run a town like ours!

These real-world experiences are so valuable, and we are incredibly grateful for each of you who invests in our students.

We appreciate you all more than you know! 🐴💙

🧸💙 Baby blanket making is officially underway! 💙🧸

Our students have been working hard and are SO excited to see their final projects come together! 🥰

But this project is about more than learning a skill—it’s about giving back. ❤️ Once completed, our students will take their handmade blankets to Ashley Valley Hospital to hand over to babies and families in our community. 👶🏼🍼

We can’t wait to see the finished blankets and the joy they’ll bring! 🥹✨
