Not only did our students take on the ring, but so did some great faculty and staff! We had receptionists, teachers of all grade levels, administrators, occupational therapist, instructional coaches, librarians, and paras all give up their Saturday morning to support the students and exhibit their animals. A big, big thank you for investing in our students in and out of the classroom!
