ADVENTURERS' TEACHERS PARADE VISITED STUDENTS
The Adventurers did a drive-by parade to say hello to all of their students and drove all the way out to see us! My son was sooo excited! There was a parade of 6-7 cars. It was very touching! My two children held up a sign to greet their passing teachers and Ms. steph clevelle as they drove by waving!  From the Borst Family.

Here are pictures of the same children doing their school work.
