❄️ January Activity Night at Gasconade C4 ❄️
Our students stayed after school last week to participate in our January Activity Night! They had a great time making snowflakes and snowmen—and enjoyed snow cones too—all while getting ready for the snow coming this weekend. ☃️🍧
A big thank you to our teachers and staff for making this fun event possible, and thank you to our parents and families for supporting student participation. We appreciate our Wildcat community! 💙💛
