🐾🫧 PAWS what you're doing... it's time to get squeaky clean! 🧼🐶

Our Pre-K and Kindergarten Cougars had a paws-itively fun time learning about healthy habits with a special visit from Biscuit the Paw Washing Dog! 🐾❤️

Through an interactive, hands-on lesson, students discovered how germs spread, when it's important to wash their hands, and the steps to keeping those little paws clean! 🧼✨

A BIG thank you to Biscuit and the Symmetry Hand Washing Program for making an important life skill so much FUN! We're building healthy habits that will last a lifetime—one paw at a time! 🐾

❤️🖤 Clean Paws, Healthy Cougars! 🐾
