Today was a special day in Ms. Zinni and Ms. Ortiz’s UPK classrooms as families came together to help their preschoolers build festive gingerbread houses! The room was filled with laughter, creativity, and sweet holiday spirit as students and their loved ones worked side by side to decorate their delicious creations. Thank you to all the families who joined us and made this activity such a memorable experience for our youngest learners!
