Book Character Day

Each day, ten of our amazing 5th graders visit our Functional Skills (FS) classrooms to spend time interacting, playing, and building friendships with the FS students. These moments are more than just playtime—they are opportunities for students to learn from one another, practice kindness, and build a stronger, more inclusive school community. We are so proud of the compassion, leadership, and positivity these students bring as they model what it means to truly support one another! #togetherweSOAR
