📖✨ Finding our “One Word”! ✨📖
Randolph 4th graders welcomed a very special guest, District Chief Lisa Brown, Goochland County Fire-Rescue’s Recruitment & Retention Coordinator and former educator. Chief Brown read One Word For Kids and inspired students to brainstorm the word that will guide them through the school year. 🌟
We’re so grateful for our community partners who share their time and wisdom with our students! ❤️
