Quick Recap of a huge 2022-23
Hint : we achieved tons together!
The 2022-23 school year started off with a Ms Swisher being awarded a national Presidential Innovation Award for her role in environmental education and transforming the Hawks’ Garden into a beautiful space.
We then saw plenty of new projects and improvements, and ended with Grand Master of the Parade for our wonderful Ms Swisher. Let’s not forget all the wildlife sightings, including butterflies, monarchs, blue birds - and students!
