🍄‍🟫🫛 Greener Partners teamed up with Mrs. McGuire and an awesome group of 4th graders yesterday to get their hands dirty and lay the groundwork for our garden! 🌱 Students built raised garden beds, foraged, and learned about which plants/weeds are edible in the wild while having a great time exploring and connecting with nature. Planting will begin next week—we can’t wait to see it grow!

What a joyful day at Hancock Elementary! 📚✨ In partnership with Reading is Fundamental (RIF) and Ametek, our students enjoyed a special book celebration filled with an engaging read aloud and excitement around choosing their very own books. Each student went home with THREE brand new books to add to their home library!

Moments like these help foster a love of reading and put books directly into the hands of our learners. Thank you to our partners for supporting our students and helping literacy thrive at Hancock! 💙 #RIF #Ametek #LoveofReading
