Last year, we told you about our awesome student, Dakota Goff, and his quest to collect pop tabs to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Look at what Dakota has been up to lately! Monday night, Dakota attended his first NFL game (Seahawks/Bears), sat in the first row behind the Seattle sideline, and received a shout out on live TV! Watching his hero, Shaquem Griffin, play in person was a pretty big deal too!
We are so proud of everything Dakota has accomplished, all while focusing on helping others in need!
In science class last week, Mrs. Burke's 4th graders made cars and tested the number of spins it would take to move exactly 8 feet!
