The third graders visited Navajo on May 10th to see their new school for next year. The fourth grade band demonstrated instruments and played several songs. The students had a tour of the building and spent time in a fourth grade classroom. Mrs. Herman talked to the students about all the new programs. Our third graders are excited about school next year!
