What a great day it is to be a Tiger! 🐅 We're overjoyed to share that our sweet 1st grade student, Whitley, got to come home after a long hospital stay following a bad car accident. The whole school came together to welcome her home with open arms! Whitley was greeted by friends, classmates, teachers, and lots of love, with posters and signs everywhere showing how much she's cared for. And the best part? She even got to stay and visit with her classmates, making memories that will last a lifetime! We're thrilled to have her back home and can't wait to have her back at school, hopefully next week! ❤️ Sending all our love, positive vibes, and prayers to Whitley and her family. 🌈🦋
