✨ First Grade Friendship Feast! ✨
Today our first graders gathered in the hallway for our annual Friendship Feast, and it was such a heartwarming celebration! Each class brought items for a potluck, and we joined together to enjoy good food, great conversations, and the joy of spending time with friends.
Seeing the hallway transformed into one big “table” filled with smiles and laughter was the perfect reminder of what we’re thankful for—friendship, kindness, and our wonderful school community. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who helped make this special tradition so memorable!
