✨ Cigarroa Middle School Field Trip Highlight! ✨
Our GEAR UP, NJHS, and Communities in Schools students had a wonderful visit to the Laredo Nursing and Rehab Center today. Students spent quality time with the residents, shared conversations, and enjoyed playing a few lively rounds of Lotería together. ❤️🎉
We are also proud to have donated warm blankets to the residents — a generous contribution made possible by Walmart Laredo NE (Bob Bullock). Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community! 🛒💛
We appreciate our students for their kindness and leadership, and we look forward to more opportunities to serve our community. 🌟
