Our 5th graders spent the first three weeks of December proving that a little effort goes a long way. They led a school-wide food drive and collected 400 pounds of donations for the Thurston County Food Bank!
We headed into winter break feeling so inspired by these young world-changers. Proud is an understatement! 🐾👏🎉
