What an exciting adventure! Some of our students had the opportunity to visit the Launchpad Museum for a special field trip! For many, it was their first time riding a bus—a memorable experience on its own! Throughout the day, we witnessed incredible moments of pretend play, problem-solving, and sharing! The trip also allowed us to spend valuable time with communication devices and practice essential skills. It was heartwarming for students to reconnect with friends from other schools and celebrate the impressive growth they've made this school year! We are so proud of our students and grateful for opportunities like these to learn and grow together! ❤️ #LaunchpadMuseum #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #ProudOfOurStudents #WeAreSSC #CardinalPride
