Right before spring break, Lenna cashed in her PTO Auction win for “Sodie from Rhodie” with Mr. Rayburn! She and four friends enjoyed a sunny walk to Rhodes, grabbed a soda, and soaked up some beautiful weather together. Smiles, sunshine, and sweet treats—what a perfect combo! ☀️

Right before spring break, Ava had a blast using her PTO Auction win! She invited a couple of friends to join her for a special Paint Party with Mrs. Riedel. From colorful creations to lots of laughter, it was a fun-filled time of creativity and friendship. We love seeing these special experiences come to life!

Get ready for some exciting library fun! 📚
