Port O’Connor PreK, K, and 1st & 2nd graders dressed up like “100 year olds” to celebrate the 100th day of school.
The Seadrift Masonic Lodge presented 1st grade students at Seadrift School with an important lesson about dental health. The Grand Lodge of Texas provides our local lodge with bags filled with the necessities to care for teeth. The students were extremely excited and thankful!
