Patriot Day was such a great learning experience for 6th grade! All the students learned history today with such emotion.
Alex, Madison, and Jax recreated the Twin Towers with an American Flag 🇺🇸 in the middle to let everyone know we can come back stronger together!
Steele and Brady built the Twin Towers with stem blocks!
Great job, Tigers!!
