Week Two Down!
Second graders are ready for a year full of fun and learning. Time seems to speed up as we get older, and for one student, this theory was proven true. Tyler Hamende feels "Recess is shorter" than it was before. Odds are the equipment on the playground will start shrinking in a couple of years as well.
Ready for the Pep Rally!
