Today our students got to experience something special as they watched and learned about traditional Irish dance from St. Joseph’s Irish Dancers! ☘️💃 We were especially proud to see one of our very own kindergarteners, Emily Speed, performing as part of the team. Way to go, Emily! 👏

Today our 5th graders had a special treat right here at school! Thanks to Starbucks in Hickory, a Starbucks experience was set up for them to enjoy. After completing the math activity, students used their math skills to place their own drink orders. It was a fun way to practice real-world math while enjoying a special reward. Thank you to Starbucks in Hickory for helping make this experience possible for our students! ☕️📚
