We love when the Philip Simmons Iron Horses come out to Cainhoy! Last month we had a great group of football players stop by for High Five Friday. Most recently, our students enjoyed a visit from some PSH Students who are taking Spanish this semester. They chose books written by Hispanic authors and read to each one of our classes to help us celebrate diversity and Hispanic Heritage Month! We cannot wait for the next group of PSH students to stop by!
