A couple of weeks ago, our Hartley Kindergarten students enjoyed their annual trip to the Children’s Museum! From pretending to be astronauts and fixing vehicles to caring for pets and taking center stage, there was no shortage of imagination and fun.
It was a fantastic day filled with learning, creativity, and exploration. Our Hartley Hornets did an outstanding job representing our school community! We’re so proud of them!
