Kindergarten Orientation was such a sweet start to a brand-new journey! 🧡🐻🔑

Our newest Black Bears and their families spent the afternoon meeting teachers, exploring classrooms, and getting ready for the big adventure ahead. A special thank you to Mrs. Owens, Mrs. Lasch, Miss Borden, Mrs. Sparkman, and Mrs. Dozier for making our little learners feel right at home.

The first keys to success are in their hands, and we can’t wait to watch our kindergarteners learn, grow, and shine this year! ✏️📚🔑
