✨💡 Glow Party Success! 💡✨

What an incredible day! Our Glow Party was a HUGE success, and it wouldn’t have been possible without so many helping hands. A special thank you to our Culinary Arts program for the delicious cupcakes (yes—they even glowed under the black lights! 🌟🧁), and to our Ready, Set, Teach students who stepped up to run games and booths with so much energy and heart.

Events like this give our students a chance to practice teamwork, communication, and independence in a fun and supportive setting. These skills will benefit them far beyond the classroom. 💛 Also, for the students from visiting districts!

We are so proud to be part of a district that always puts students first and comes together to create unforgettable experiences like this one. Pirate Pride was shining bright all day!
