Angie Debo Elementary -

School's (almost) out for☀️Summer☀️!

Today's the day - our high school🎓seniors🎓are graduating! Last week, we were elated to host our former Dolphins for a little🎉graduation celebration🎉!

And remember,🐬once a Dolphin, always a Dolphin🐬! We'll always be right here cheering you on from afar!

This year's Teacher Appreciation Week was truly🪐out of this world🪐!
