What a wonderful morning at our 1st Annual Preschool VIP Breakfast last week! Our Little Raiders were so excited to welcome their special guests to school.

Families enjoyed delicious cinnamon rolls and juice while interacting with the other preschool families. After breakfast, the students proudly shared their projects and learning highlights from throughout the year with their VIPs. From art creations to classroom discoveries, it was a joyous celebration of growth, creativity, and connections.

Thank you to all of our VIPs for joining us and making the morning so special. We can't wait to continue this sweet new tradition!
