Testut's Kind Kinders

Celebrating #SELDay with our SEL Ambassadors today! They made posters about what SEL means to them and presented them during morning announcements. They are true examples of how "today's students are tomorrow's leaders!" @PS173Q

🎉Celebrating the 100th day of school with K-205's grown-ups made the day even more special & fun!!💯

I'm a Bucket Filler! 💚🎉🪣🎉💜 K-205 is a Bucket filler classroom!! 🎃👻Happy Halloween to all who celebrate!👻🎃 Remember to be a bucket filler, not a bucket dipper! You will fill up someone else's bucket, but at the same time, you'll fill up yours too, and that feels good.💗
