One of my favorite ‘secrets’ to spill is that the teachers at Barrett are actually some of my best buddies! Students always light up when they realize their teachers are great friends, too! 🪩 #KWBPride #OneTeamOneAPS

These brand new fourth graders are already experts at communication and teamwork! We had an amazing first week of school practicing important skills like sharing ideas, and celebrating how our brains work differently. #KWBPride #OneTeamOneAPS #4thGRADEROCKS 🖍️🪩💌
