Our MAP Glow & Grow Party was a glowing success! ✨ We celebrated all of our students who showed incredible growth from the beginning of the year to the end of the year on MAP with an epic glow dance party in the gym! From the neon lights to the nonstop dancing and excitement, it was such a fun way to recognize all of their hard work and progress this year.

And 6th grade got an extra special celebration with a giant water balloon fight and root beer floats to top it all off! 💦🍦 We are so proud of our students for continuing to learn, grow, and shine bright all year long! 🪩💚
