Grapevine Elementary School

Today after school, we had a fantastic time at our Principal’s Book Club! Mrs. Wahpekeche captivated us with a reading of "Would You, Could You, Plant a Tree with Dr. Seuss's Lorax," while Mrs. Hale taught us all about seeds! Mrs. Hale even brought sunflower seeds for us to try! To wrap up the fun, we decorated pots and planted Sweet Pea flowers to take home. It was a wonderful afternoon of learning and creativity!
