An inspiring day for our young readers and writers! 📖✨

The 2nd and 3rd graders at Dorothy Dodds Elementary recently enjoyed a very special visit from local author Kim A. Larson!

It was an incredible opportunity for our students to peek behind the curtain of the creative process and learn firsthand from a talented writer. From hearing about her amazing children's books to discovering the magic of storytelling, our students left feeling inspired to pick up their own pens and let their imaginations run wild.

A huge thank you to Kim A. Larson for investing in our future authors! ✏️🧡

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to prioritize your well-being. Whether it’s taking a walk, practicing mindfulness, or simply giving yourself grace, remember to be kind to yourself.

Don't forget to look out for your circle, too! A simple "How are you really doing?" can make a world of difference. Let’s continue to support one another and build a community where everyone feels seen and heard. 🤝✨
