A huge thank you to our Superintendent, Dr. Rice, for stepping into the classroom to share his incredible, firsthand experience witnessing/and participating in the world-famous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain!
Ms. Conner’s Spanish class got a unique look at Spanish tradition as Dr. Rice shared his personal stories, insights, and photos from his travels. It’s moments like these that show our students how big the world is and how powerful language learning can be beyond the textbook! 🌍✨
We love seeing our leadership connect directly with students to inspire global curiosity. Thank you, Dr. Rice, for sharing your journey with us!
