🐾 Our 2nd grade Cheetahs have been busy bringing Unit 1 projects to life—spotlighting their favorite places in our community! 🌟
Students got a special peek into our town through interviews with the Dalton-Whitfield Public Library 📚, Dalton Fire Department 🚒, and Hamilton Medical Center 🏥.
Today, Dr. Smith’s class took the spotlight with an author celebration to share their amazing projects! 🎉✏️
Way to go, Cheetahs—keep shining and working hard! 💛💙
