Pop-Up Sweet Shoppe
Our students in Ms. Miller and Ms. Monclus' class were busy this month learning how to make chocolate covered treats! They set up a Sweet Shoppe and sold these sweets to staff and students. After raising $445.00, they donated it all to our Giving Tree! Thank you for being amazing grizzlies!
