This year, 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 (a day to raise awareness and show support for individuals affected by Osteogenesis Imperfecta) falls on the same day as our 𝐇𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲!
We’d love to recognize both:
👉 Students are encouraged to 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐲𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 to support those affected by Osteogenesis Imperfecta
👉 AND wear their 𝐇𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐭 for the day’s activities
Whether you choose one, the other, or both—your support and participation help make the day meaningful and fun for everyone!

✨They Are Published Authors!✨
Mrs. First's second-grade class is so excited to share that they officially published their very own book this spring called If I Had Three Wishes! 📚💫
Each student worked hard creating their own writing and illustration pages, making this book extra special and full of creativity. Everyone is so proud of all the imagination, effort, and teamwork that went into this project! Becoming published authors has been such a fun and memorable experience for the classroom.
Way to go, students! ✏️🎉
