What an incredible week at Eagle Glen. Our 1st-grade class had the privilege of hosting some AMAZING special guest speakers last week including a farmer, a scientist, a highway patrol officer, and our very own superintend Dr. Slagle. The kids had so many questions and were completely engaged throughout the day. It was heartwarming to see our students learning firsthand about the diverse roles that help shape our community.
