Let Texas Roadhouse do the cooking while we support our Warriors! 💙
His visit was a wonderful way to bring our social studies unit on the three branches of government to life, especially our study of the judicial branch! Students had the opportunity to ask lots of great questions and learn what it's really like to serve in our judicial system.
A big thank you to Judge Miller (Gabby and Isabella's Dad) for taking time out of his busy schedule to share his knowledge and experiences with our fifth graders!
All athletes must have a valid sports physical on file in order to tryout!
