Our 2nd graders got to take a tour of the Intermediate school yesterday. They got to see where their 3rd grade classes would be, got to learn a little about how their day would go and a little about the different things they’d be doing next year, and hear all about the fun things they’d get to do in their specials rotations. A huge thank you to Mrs. Swayze, Mrs. Cook, and the intermediate staff for making this happen for our students. Getting a glimpse of what next year will look like and getting to become familiar with a few faces helps to ease our students worries and make the transition a little easier for them next year. Also a huge shout out to the Intermediate Student Council students for being so welcoming to our students and being the best greeters and tour guides. 🐉
