SUPERHERO DAY-FRIDAY 4/28
To celebrate our superpowers and perseverance this week, all students may wear a superhero shirt with uniform bottoms. A flier will be sent home. For a morning meeting activity, consider an activity or sharing about perseverance and overcoming challenges just like a superhero! Below is a like to create masks, especially if not everyone owns a superhero shirt.
Thank you to Mrs. Miller for organizing this day!
