🧩 Building Our Class Family, One "Pause" at a Time! We had a blast bringing our K–2nd Grade Class Family back together today! The mission was simple: make new friends and practice the art of kindness through play. Our Middle School mentors were total rockstars! They led the younger students through a game of "Pause and Play," where every few minutes, they’d stop the action to reflect on how to be a great friend while sharing blocks, board games, and laughs.

🎉 Big congratulations to Nejra and Levi for meeting their goals! 👏✨ Your hard work and determination paid off — we are so proud of you! Keep shining! 🌟💪
