Our speech and occupational therapists, Mrs. Laos and Mrs. Field, collaborated on a group session with PreK students in Mrs. Hubbard’s class. By combining fine motor activities with speech practice, they created an engaging, hands-on learning experience.
Students made edible “spring flowers” using cookies, worms, M&Ms, and gummy worms, tying the activity to their classroom unit on spring. This creative approach supported both communication skills and fine motor development in a fun and meaningful way.

Huge congratulations to Mrs. Wilfong for receiving a grant from BayPort Credit Union! 🎉💜
Her innovative project, Maker-nomics, will bring a hands-on makerspace to Deep Creek Elementary where students become designers, problem-solvers, and decision-makers. Students will be given a budget to complete design challenges—making real-world economic choices as they select materials and even “rent” tools like chomp saws or glue guns.
We can’t wait to see creativity and critical thinking come to life in this exciting new space!
