Today our K-6 students watched The Grinch, ate mini s'mores, had hot cocoa then had extra recess to celebrate their academic improvements so far this year. Go Bombers! Keep SOARing!!

This morning, our elementary principal read a story to the entire school—to add to the fun, we turned it into a full production! 🎭🍪
Our teachers were great sports and jumped right in to act out The Gingerbread Kid Goes to School.
We had:
👑 1 super principal
🏀 2 gym coaches
🍎 3 lunch ladies
📚 4 teachers
🧠 1 smart boy
🐶 1 dog
🍪 and of course… the Gingerbread Kid!
Lots of laughs, big smiles, and a whole lot of school spirit. What a fun way to kick off the last two days before Christmas! ❤️🎄
