Miss Patia and Miss Danielle’s kindergarten classes had the sweetest time celebrating Valentine’s Day with a special Sweetheart Breakfast! Our classrooms were filled with smiles, laughter, and lots of love as students invited a special loved one to join them. It was such a heartwarming way to celebrate friendship, family, and kindness. We are so thankful to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning extra special! 💕
