☀️ Spreading Sunshine at Claxton Elementary! ☀️
Mrs. Kelly's 2nd grade class has been busy sharing kindness and gratitude with their Sunshine Baskets!
In October, the recipients were our amazing administrators! 🏫✨ The students wanted to show their appreciation for all their hard work and dedication to keeping everyone safe at school. 🛡️💙
For November, the Sunshine Basket was given to Kathryn Johnson and Kylie Usrey, PPB students from Georgia Southern University. 🍎📚 These two have been a wonderful part of the class for the past few months, forming strong relationships with the students and assisting them with their work. Mondays and Wednesdays won’t be the same without them! Their favorite time together? Lunch—where they shared laughs, stories, and plenty of conversations.
We wish Miss Johnson and Miss Usrey all the best on their educational journeys to becoming teachers! 🌟🍏
