Turtle Day

5 Red ventured down to the Prep area on Friday to help our buddies create the World Turtle Day display. We painted murals, built turtles in the sand and used the chalk boards to draw turtles. Once we were finished the rest of the school came down to view our master pieces. We love spending time with our buddies!
