PTSA Art & Craft Family Night
What an amazing day at our Arts & Crafts event, led by our empathetic, Peers Uniting Peers (PUPs) students! This PTSA-sponsored gathering brought our Rincon community together in a celebration of creativity, connection, and belonging. From colorful paintings to unique crafts, our PUPs team showcased their leadership and empathy, guiding participants of all ages in fun, hands-on activities. It was heartwarming to see our students take center stage, inspiring others and building a sense of community through art. Thank you to RINCON PTSA and Ms. Josephson who made this event a success! Together, we’re fostering a supportive environment where everyone feels valued. Here’s to more inspiring moments like these!
