⭐ Student Spotlight

Each week we’ll feature a joke, fun fact, or artwork from one of our amazing students. Keep an eye out — your child might be next!

This week’s submission comes from Graydon in 4th Grade:

Fun Fact: People eat more than 4.6 billion pounds of pie every year! 🥧

And honestly… that checks out. Pie is basically the unofficial fuel of school events, holidays, and stressed-out parents everywhere.

Have a wonderful weekend!
