We are a week out from this great event!
Grand Ave 4th graders teamed with their Bridges 1st grade buddies to create Thanksgiving placemats 🦃
#togetherwesoar #wearesaukprairie #happythanksgiving
Fifth graders in Mrs. Nolden's class collected frosting, cake mix, and other items for a birthday celebration. Students then decorated and filled 22 bags to donate to the Sauk Prairie Area Food Pantry.
