🐾✨ Today was an absolutely purr-fect day at Gladiator Academy 🐱💖 Thanks to the amazing cats from FurAll Kittys, it was a day where everything felt a little more pawsome. 🐾😺 Truly a purr-fect reminder of how powerful a little love (and a lot of fluff) can be!

Happy Pi Day! My students have been working hard this school year to fill in their ALEKS pie charts. Keep it up, Gladiator Academy!

Mutualism at its finest!

Butterflies will sometimes land on a Caiman and drink its salty, crocodile tears to in order to survive. This helps the Caiman to feel both less sad and more fabulous.

@Principal_Bragg Congratulations!

[Miss J. Saunders @MissSaunders97]

Check out my homeroom’s plant growth from the beginning to the end of the school year! This shows how nothing changes overnight or by one act of responsibility, but by a culmination of kindness and intentional commitment. I’m proud of my students for taking good care of Pablo!
