4K Snowman Surprises

4K classes at Central-Denison created snowman surprises for their families before the holiday break!

Each thumbprint was carefully placed and each snowman was carefully cut to each child’s height. A gift families will treasure for years to come.

Thank you to Lake Geneva Home Depot for donating all the wood fence posts. What an amazing gift!
