It seems like just yesterday these "little learners" were walking these halls, and now they are walking across the stage as the "big kids."

☀️ Leaps, Bounds, and Laughter 🤸 It's that time of year when students across the District trade in pencils and textbooks for inflatables and yard games to celebrate a hard-earned successful school year.
