We are proud to celebrate our very first Mathfact Masters of the school year! At the Primary School, we take math facts seriously—and these super sharp students proved it by answering every fact in just seconds! Of course, we had to celebrate with a big hallway “Yee-haw!” Way to go, kiddos! We’re so proud of you!

These two kindergartners used their Dojo points to purchase the special “Hallway Greeter” job! They had the choice of using Mrs. Mott’s megaphone or some musical instruments from Mr. Alleman’s room—and they made the morning extra fun. Even Dr. T joined in on the festivities!
