Hello,

We had a great week! I couldn't take pictures at the Fun Run (😞) because I was running with my kiddos- BUT, they were ADORABLE! They had a great time and it was a super fun event for our school. The ladies who were volunteering did take a class photo and when I get a copy I will share it with you. The children were amazing while turning our classroom into a "Fort Town"- collaborating, problem solving and having a blast! 

FYI:
