In 4L, we believe in setting goals and conquering them! In one activity, we created a 10 Before 10 list where each student wrote 10 goals they want to accomplish before they turn 10. This morning we got to help this student crush his goal of running 3km! Way to go. We are so proud of you!!!

Happy November:))
