During American Education Week, teachers engaged students in activities designed to inspire them to become active members of their community. Students showcased their Home-School Connection Projects to classmates and were encouraged to dress as the professionals they aspire to be in the future. The celebration also included a staff appreciation breakfast, where all employees contributed a breakfast item to honor our amazing team. Parents joined as guest readers, sharing stories about their professions and explaining how their work benefits the community. We explored the concept of our school community and celebrated with a Panda Pride Parade, highlighting unity and school spirit. To conclude the week, students and staff honored our dedicated support staff with handmade thank-you cards.
