Curious Critters Visit!

We had an exciting visit from Curious Critters! Both students and staff had the wonderful opportunity to learn about various animals, their environments, and their daily routines. Some of us were even brave enough to hold them!

We held tarantulas, lizards, snakes, and cockroaches, and we also had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful owl. It was an incredible experience for everyone involved, filled with learning and a lot of fun!

Thank you, Curious Critters, for an unforgettable day!
