Painting and s’mores and bears, oh my! 🐻🔎

Students at Bryan Elementary School’s SOAR location enjoyed quite the treat this week! After a successful bear hunt around the school, students snacked on s’mores (some for the first time ever!) and showed off their arts and crafts skills!

Thursday’s SOAR was so fun, we could bear-ly contain our excitement! Can’t wait to see what adventures are in store for next week!

What an incredible day! These 4th grade RLC students completed their Garden Buddies project today. Each small group of students worked together to choose a garden-themed book and create a craft activity for our Bryan friends! The students then invited our Bryan friends to the garden for this fun event. We are absolutely amazed at how well all of the students did on this project. They worked so well with the younger students! They were enthusiastic and so prepared; they asked questions during the read-aloud, made connections, and helped the the younger students with their crafts. Our Bryan friends had a wonderful time!
