From meal planning in the kitchen 🍴 to setting sail on an Alaskan cruise 🚢 … from learning big ideas at a leadership conference 🌟 to soaking up the sun at the beach 🏖️ … even helping with recycling ♻️ and fitting in a round of golf ⛳ — the River Hawk stayed busy!
Now, just a few days into the school year, we can already feel that same excitement and energy in our classrooms. It’s been a fantastic first week back, and we can’t wait to see what this year brings. 🧡
