This week @ Burdine!
Smiles were shared, hands were held, and hearts were full as our youngest students visited the nursing home. Big lessons in kindness from our smallest students!
This year instead of asking students and families to send in gifts for a gift exchange every classroom collected items to take to the nursing home. Our youngest students kicked off the visits last week!
