Kickball cards have taken over @MSTMAGNET 4th grade swapped with some 1st and 2nd graders this week🥰 Lots of White Tiger spirit from creating binders, connecting with teachers for signatures, and recess swapping. Can’t wait to cheer on our staff tomorrow💙🤍 #risddreamon

This is one of those win-win moments for sure at @MSTMAGNET ! Students and staff both benefit from this trading card experience. Teachers, remember to carry your pen with you, so you are ready to give out your autographs!

My absolute favorite time of year @MSTMAGNET 🤩 Being apart of the Funshine committee and seeing the excitement on our students’ faces makes it all worth the planning and preparation! @mcdonaldinstem & @katehebert thank you for your creativity and hard work bringing this to life!
