A big High Five to Mrs. Decker at Caryn Elementary for creating a special moment her students won’t forget.
Her class missed out on the Kindy 500 during the pandemic, so she brought the experience to them by helping students create their own mini cars. It’s a simple idea with a big impact, giving students a chance to make up for a missed milestone and build a memory together.
Moments like this show how much heart goes into making sure every student feels included and celebrated. Great job, Caryn Cougars!
