Molly from Osborne stopped by preschool today to teach our kids all about worms - and their smiles say it all! 🪱😊

Hands-on learning is the best kind, and our preschoolers had a blast.

Fourth graders enjoyed a fun tour of the Carter House Museum this morning. They saw different toys through the decades and did a scavenger hunt. Thank you to the amazing volunteers that were our guides!
