They had great food and had a great time playing "Friendly Feud" and painting canvases. Thank you, school clerks, for all you do for our students and staff!

🎂🎉 Happy Birthday, Mr. Hawkins!
We celebrated by going everything but birthday! Classes and staff members brought non-birthday balloons, creating a wild balloon jungle in his office!
And if that wasn’t enough fun, he also received framed team photos in true vintage JCPenney family-photo style—timeless, dramatic, and absolutely priceless. 📸
