Our students had a special visit from two amazing FWC Officers who brought along some wild guests—a baby alligator and an owl! 🐊🦉 The kids were thrilled to learn about these incredible animals, Florida wildlife laws, and how we can help protect them. They even got the chance to see and gently touch the baby alligator! What a fun and educational experience for all! 💚🌿 #IgniteTogetherMCSD

🐶Ella and Stella make reading even more fun!🐶 As part of our PAWS to Read Program, these gentle, trained dogs visited every class to help students build reading confidence in the most heartwarming way: by listening to them read aloud. 💬❤️ Research shows that reading to a non-judgmental listener like a therapy dog can ease anxiety and make reading more fun — and the smiles, cuddles, and proud readers we saw all week prove it! 📖🐾 Thank you for inspiring our readers and making a tail-wagging difference in literacy! 🐕‍🦺💙💛 #PAWStoRead #IgniteTogetherMCSD
