Class of 2023

This week, we have been cooking up a storm in our kitchen and made delicious pizzas! 
 

This afternoon, we were hunting for facts about Florence Nightingale.

This morning, we had an egg rolling tournament with our amazingly decorated eggs. They all looked great at the start of the day - not so much after the contest!
