🚗🎓 Our Kindergarten Chiefs are off to a great start! Yesterday, they practiced how we sit safely and patiently during car rider time, and they’ve been working hard on their listening ears during training. 👂💛

We’re so proud of how quickly they’re learning the routines and showing what it means to be responsible and respectful Chiefs! Keep it up, Kindergarten! 🌟👏
