Today was Joy Day at Keshequa Elementary, and our students spent the day spreading kindness and cheer! 🧡 They worked on projects like making wreaths and a holiday video for local nursing home residents, creating decorations for local businesses, caroling, and crafting seed ornaments for our animal friends. The fun didn’t stop there – everyone enjoyed an exciting Glow Party and ended the day reflecting on what brought them joy. It was a beautiful reminder of the impact small acts of kindness can have on our community. 🧡

Ms. Lawson’s 1st-grade class has recently been on a journey through time, exploring how families and communities have changed over the years.
