Keeping up with the Royals

Gaga for Parents' Club

The new Gaga Pits donated by the Parents' Club came in handy on "Take Your Child to Work Day." Staff members' children played Gaga Ball with Mrs. Zaccagnino and Mrs. Walton's Second Grade classes and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Grimes' Third Grade classes. Thank you so much again to Parents' Club to providing our students with this new opportunity to exercise in a fun way!
