On this last day of school before Winter Break, the halls were filled with laughter, joy, and holiday cheer. ❄️ From cozy holiday PJs to jingling holiday parties, it was a perfect day to deck the halls with memories that will last all season long. 🎄
It may not feel like winter outside, but it's almost time for Winter Break! We're snow excited for a wonderful week of celebrations (and finals 😅), then it's time to chill out and feel all the holiday vibes with family and friends!

#PCStudentSuccess: 🎨When Creativity Meets The Classroom, Magic Happens✨️
Art was the main lesson today with our little Kirland Elementary Pirates! Learning through art has proven to be a successful way to enhace life-long skills that are learned early on. Art particularly helps students a few ways. It shows how to think outside the box to grasp abstract concepts, improves focus and patience, and even helps to increase expression of their thoughts and feelings.
