🎨✨ Kindergarten creativity meets High School leadership! Our youngest Hornets had fun making colorful handprint art, with a special assist from our High School Helpers—seniors in the Practicum of Education course. These future educators spend part of their school day helping in classrooms across our primary campuses, making a big difference for our students.
