MaryKate — everyone’s favorite four-legged friend — paid a visit to 6th grade on Tuesday, right after the students wrapped up their first MAP testing session of the year. Talk about perfect timing!

After a morning of focused testing, the students welcomed MaryKate with open arms (and lots of belly rubs). The kids were absolutely in love, and it was the perfect way to reward all their hard work and help everyone relax and recharge.

A big thank you to MaryKate for brightening our students’ day — we hope she visits again soon!
