We are celebrating #GaPreKWeek. Today, Dr. Ridley came and read with all three PreK classes in the media center. They had a great time listening to the story about the Governor's Mansion, the family - and dogs - that live there. Our PreK students were fabulous listeners and participants! #ColtsCan #PreK
