🌼Our first SEL activity of the year brought some of our youngest and oldest students together to build something beautiful — a Buddy Garden! 🌱 Kindergarten students from Ms. Vogel's class and 8th grade students from Mrs. Abney's homeroom teamed up to create colorful flowers using their handprints, symbolizing growth, friendship, and community. 💛
