The Soapbox Derby was held on April 4th. The theme for our car was donuts (ask your child why.) We are proud to report that the donut mobile, manned by Gregorio and Addie, Seth and Kia ‘La, and Doug and Sidney, finished in first place for third grade, with a time of 1:39 seconds, second fastest in the entire school! We also came up with a catchy chant to urge the team on. Great work team donut!
