Student leaders from Clark Middle School visited 5th graders across USD 204 to help them prepare for their big transition to 6th grade! 🎒✨ They shared advice, answered questions, and gave a sneak peek into what middle school life is all about. 🏫👏 Adding to the excitement, the middle school's famous furry friends, Remi and LuLu, who serve as School Companion Dogs, joined the visit, bringing plenty of tail wags and comfort along the way! 🐶
