Have a student going to college soon? Texas A&M San Antonio and Credit Human is offering a session to help families explore financial options.
Our 4th and 5th graders had a great time today with their STAAR review scavenger hunt. They tested their knowledge with math problems and once they were completed, they got to do a fun task. Thank you to our teachers for putting this awesome activity together!
