EXPLORE'S K-5 WEEKLY FOCUS

Climb Every Mountain

This past Thursday, KM Explore students choose an activity to do with a buddy.  Some students made more warm fuzzies to deliver for Valentine's Day, some students played card games or made card towers and others chose to read or draw.  It always puts a smile on our faces to watch these children interact with one another and build our school community.  

IMPORTANT INFORMATION/UPDATES

I'm a new paragraph block.

Explore is planning a pancake breakfast on March 6th.  Watch for more details along with a sign up genius!
