π Who doesn't love getting flowers delivered at work?!
Angie Debo started the Belonging Blossoms Club where students prepare stunning bouquets and surprise employees with fresh flowers each month!
Through this initiative, our students are also learning valuable lessons and skills to help them βblossomβ too. This new tradition provides many opportunities to practice fine motor skills when arranging flower bundles, communication skills when delivering flowers to teachers, and student collaboration and teamwork building when working with others to carry out this task. Way to promote our core values, dolphins! π¬π£
