We have a winner! Introducing "DIGneyland"

PTSA asked each classroom to propose a name for the sand digging station. Thank you to the 11 participating classrooms! We received several creative and thoughtful submissions, making it a real challenge to choose just one. After careful deliberation, we’re excited to announce the winning name: Digneyland! 🏖️✨ Congratulations to the Mrs. Neal's classroom for their imaginative and fun name. As promised, the PTSA will be hosting a classroom party for Mrs. Neal's class to celebrate. Thank you again to everyone who participated—we truly appreciate your enthusiasm and creativity!
