๐๐ Exciting News from Bella Vista Elementary! ๐๐
We're thrilled to share that our 3rd graders received their very own dictionaries thanks to the generosity of the Rotary Club! Each student was presented with this invaluable tool, sparking excitement and curiosity in the classroom.
During their exploration, our students stumbled upon fascinating facts, one being the presence of Braille on every classroom door alongside metric measurements and word definitions. It's amazing what knowledge can be uncovered with a simple flip of the pages!
A huge thank you to the Rotary Club for their commitment to education and empowering our young learners with the resources they need to succeed. Together, we're shaping bright futures, one word at a time! ๐โจ #EducationMatters #RotaryClub #BellaVistaPride ๐
