We celebrated Kansas Day early this year within our elementary school on January 25th. Our amazing Kansas Day committee put together a full day of activities. In the morning we rotated between 6 different stations to learn about Kansas. Then in the afternoon, the whole school got to join in the gym to watch The Wizard of Oz. It was such a wonderful experience and I was so impressed with how well behaved our little kinders were all day long! How well do you know your Kansas facts?!
