Some snapshots from our very first official Military Dandelion Club meeting! 💜🌼

Led by Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs. Priebe, this special club creates a space for our military-connected students to build friendships, share experiences, and support one another.

Clubs are so important because they foster connection, belonging, confidence, and leadership. They give students opportunities to grow outside the classroom and remind them they are part of a strong, supportive community.

We are so proud of these students and excited to watch this club continue to bloom!
