Mrs. Fourez's class did a directed draw for Earth day! She decided to make it a contest for the best drawing. The whole class got to vote on their favorite and she also posted it on social media for people to vote. She received over 100 votes and was able to pick 5 winners! Congrats Ethan, Lennon, Willow, Brody, and Zaylen! She would also like to give a shoutout to Emmett for his hard work on his math test. He is the only student who got every question right!
