π Our 3rd graders in Mrs. Wardβs class at Carmichael Elementary have been busy bees lately! π They've been hard at work on our Carmichael Staff Spotlights Wall of Honor, a project that celebrates all the amazing staff members at our school. Each Bear took on different roles, from organizers to typists to interviewers, ensuring every staff member was highlighted. From sending emails to conducting interviews and creating documents, they did it all! ππ₯ It's been incredible to see our students dive into this project over the past two months, learning about the dedication and hard work, and some hobbies of our staff while making them feel truly valued. Way to go, Bears! π»π« #CarmichaelSpotlights #StudentEngagement #StaffAppreciation
