On Friday, Oct. 2, Breckinridge Elementary School celebrated Rock Your School Day, an event sponsored by Get Your Teach On that encourages students and staff to find joy in even the smallest moments.
This year’s theme, “Giant World of Games,” transformed the school’s halls into giant-sized versions of games with the help of numerous parents. Teachers also planned creative, out-of-the-box educational experiences designed to engage students and bring learning to life.
It was an exciting day filled with fun, creativity and learning for both students and staff.
