Yesterday’s Dining with Dad's at Hemmeter was one for the books! 💛

We shared lunch, laughter, and lots of teamwork as our dads helped their kiddos build their very own make-and-take projects. Little hands got creative with paint while dads stepped in as the “construction crew," and the results were amazing!

A huge thank you to The Home Depot for providing the building kits and helping us create such a special family engagement event. Nothing beats quality time, creativity, and making memories together! 🛠️🎨

A sunny day followed by a huge rainstorm sets the perfect stage for a magical preschool treasure hunt for the Murphy Farm Preschoolers! We found a sled full of toys, pumpkins from an old experiment, a pair of mittens, tracks, and some animal bones and antlers. A couple deer joined us as they hunted for some treats to eat. #SaginawISD #OurStory
