A sweet St. Patrick’s Day moment at Hamilton El! ☘️🌈
Hamilton High Honor Society students spent time reading with Hamilton Elementary kindergartners and making rainbow bracelets out of Froot Loops. From storytelling to hands-on fun, it was a day full of smiles, connection, and learning.
So much fun, they’re already asking to do it again! 💚
