📚✈️✨ Travel Club Adventure: Japan Edition! 🇯🇵✨

Our Travel Club just had the most amazing adventure in Japan! We explored Japan’s culture, landmarks, and even tried some authentic Japanese snacks! 🍡 Now, the big question… Where will our next adventure take us? #PennoyerPride

Travel Club is at it again! Our virtual trip to Great Britain was a huge success! 🇬🇧 The students had an amazing time exploring London, learning about the royal family, and enjoying traditional afternoon tea with a splash of milk ☕️. We can’t wait for the next adventure!

When you miss your D.C. crew so much you sweeten the deal with donuts! 🍩 Mrs. Kula and Mrs. Tronco couldn’t go back to Washington D.C., but they capital-ized on the chance to treat their travelers right! 🇺🇸 #DonutForgetUs #PennoyerPride

🌱🌼 Garden Club fun this morning! We planted seeds and kicked off our spring growing season. Then we took a walk to the Pennoyer sign and spotted the bulbs we planted in the fall—starting to pop up and bloom! It's amazing to see our hard work coming to life. 🌷🌞 #PennoyerPride
