Mrs. Perscke's 3rd grade class visited Caleo Cafe to mark the completion of their Junior Achievement Sessions. Caleo Owner, Mrs. Ulbrich was the JA mentor for Mrs. Perschke's class. The students observed what it takes to own a business and how to make it successful. The students also received a very sweet treat and lemonade. Hendry Park Alumni Mayor Martin was present to pass out certificates of completion. It was a delicious experience.
Last week, the elementary administrative team collaborated together at a workshop to support teachers and students in literacy. #AlwaysLearningAlwaysGrowing
