The special care bear made an appearance at Stafford Early Childhood Center to surprise the students with gifts in honor of Valentine’s Day. This year Stafford ECC parents had the option to purchase special gifts to be delivered to their little Spartans, but thanks to the SECC PTO, all students were given something special to take home.
We're excited to share our recent STEM Day event, where we transformed our gym into the SECC Medical Center.
