🐯✨ What a GREAT turnout for Walk Your Schedule Night! ✨🐯

Our Terry Tigers showed up ready to explore, connect, and get excited for the year ahead! 💙 Students had a blast making their way around the school, filling out their Bingo cards along the way. 🎉📚

The halls were full of smiles, excitement, and anticipation—and we can officially say… our Tigers are READY! 🐯🔥
