At Neil Armstrong Elementary, Neil the class pet is helping build community in fun and creative ways! 🐾✨ To kick off the school year, Neil filled out a “Back to School Favorites” worksheet, which was shared at Back to School Night. 🎒
Each month, Ms. Virginia St. Clair shares pictures of Neil in her newsletter, with a QR code for parents and students to see more! 📸 The kids and parents LOVE it, making Neil a fun and beloved part of the classroom.
