Alphabet Countdown begins at Fabulous Ferguson PreK-8! As the school year winds down, the excitement is heating up at Ferguson PreK-8 with a Kindergarten Alphabet Countdown! Each day, our kindergarteners have been celebrating with a fun, themed activity tied to a different letter of the alphabet, starting with A: "A is for Adopt a Pet" Day! Our little Bearcats completed thoughtful applications to “adopt” a cuddly stuffed animal, explaining how they would provide a loving and safe home for their new furry friend. After being approved, each student proudly welcomed their pet and created a cozy home to take them in. #BearcatPride🐾
