Happy Homecoming Day!
What fun we have had at school today! The high school football players and cheerleaders joined us for morning meeting this morning. We had fun learning a couple of cheers and meeting the players. After morning meeting, we had another special treat, as our Kindergarten friends did a nursery rhymes parade for us in the hallways. We had a tailgate sack lunch of hot dogs, chips, carrots, apples and ice cream. Finally, we had a great time watching the homecoming parade. Enjoy some photos of all the fun! Go Bulldogs!
