✨ Special Guest Visit in 1st Grade! ✨
On Thursday, our 1st grade students had the joy of welcoming Dr. Gail Duggar for a special visit. Dr. Duggar and her late father co-authored many books, including Peter the Pelican, a heartwarming story inspired by real-life interactions between her father and a friendly pelican.
To make the day even more special, each 1st grade student received their very own copy of Peter the Pelican! 📚💙 What a memorable experience celebrating stories, history, and the love of reading.
