🧠💪 From Nose to Toes — Ms. Weber’s first graders are learning all about how their amazing bodies work!

🍎✨ “Anyone can cook… and anyone can learn!” ✨🍎

Students were greeted on the first day of school by none other than Remy from Ratatouille (a.k.a. Dr. Schlomer, elementary principal, in disguise 😉). 🐭👨‍🍳

With high fives, fist bumps, and big smiles, Remy reminded us that just like in the kitchen, magic happens when we work hard, dream big, and believe in ourselves. 💡📚

Here’s to cooking up an amazing year at Clarke!
