Before Christmas break, our Wildcat University Afterschool students enjoyed several fun and engaging opportunities to learn and connect with their school community! 🐾 On November 6th, afterschool students participated in Nachos and Numeracy, a schoolwide family engagement event that brought learning and families together in a fun way. Students also enjoyed festive afterschool activities including shopping for their families, and Christmas Bingo, making special memories while celebrating the season together. We love seeing our Wildcats learning, laughing, and growing—both in and out of the classroom. #GoGilmer #LoveMyWVSchool
