The 5th graders at Halverson are strumming their way to success! 🎶 Our students are learning ukulele chords and already making great sounds together. Can’t wait to hear the music they’ll create! 🌟🎵

🌟 This amazing group of kids from Hawthorne took a walk through the Albert Lea community today, and along the way they showed what it means to be good citizens! 🐾 They picked up trash, helped keep our town clean, and even made a stop at the community garden where they each got their own mini pumpkins. 🎃💙💛 Our Tigers are truly amazing!
