Southwest Primary recently held its first Friday CARES! We are so grateful to all the amazing volunteers who supported our students today! Thanks to you, our teachers participated in extended planning time while students played games, read books, and even learned sign language to develop executive functioning skills with our wonderful community helpers. What a fantastic day of learning and fun!
If you’re interested in volunteering on Fridays and making a difference, please reach out to Southwest Primary—we’d love to have you join us!
