SPIRIT DAY

Congratulations to our April High-Stepper button designer, Finley!  For his submission, Fin drew a hummingbird in flight with a rainbow in the background.  He also included a few flowers.  That certainly represents spring!

Our High-Stepper for the month of April was Aliya.  Missing the achievement by just one day, Francis was an Honorable Mention.  Keep up the good work!



As always, we were excited to welcome special guests for lunch! Joining us were Finley’s mom and great-grandma, Aurelia’s mom, as well as Dr. Morse and Mrs. Coffin, who also stopped by to enjoy lunch with us.
