Our Kindergarteners were on the hunt again this year during the Annual Kindergarten Turkey Hunt on Friday, November 22nd! Dressed in their camo, they explored the school in search of the elusive turkey—and what an adventure it was! Along the way, they spotted all kinds of animals: a bear, purple dinosaur, sloth, rooster, giraffe, cow, pig, panda, and even a penguin! Finally, they caught the turkey, but in the spirit of kindness, they pardoned him and let him go. A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped make this adventure so memorable for our young explorers. This is a tradition that always brings joy to our students and staff alike!
