In a small town, some of the best friendships are the ones that span generations. Our Senior Friends and Kindergarten Kiddos spent some time together creating a fun Pot of Gold handprint project to celebrate the season. The kindergartners loved having their senior buddies help them make bright rainbow handprints leading to a pot of gold. Beyond the craft, the best part was the time spent together-talking, laughing, and building friendships that make our school and community so special. It's moments like these that remind us how lucky we are to learn and grow together in such a caring small-town school. WE ARE PRETTY SURE OUR POT OF GOLD IS THE AMAZING STUDENTS WE HAVE RIGHT HERE!! :)
