❄️👑 A Magical Visit at Doddridge County Early Learning Academy! 👑❄️
After a couple of cold and snowy days with school canceled due to weather, Elsa stopped in to visit students at Doddridge County Early Learning Academy on December 18, 2025, as a special attendance incentive. Students who attended school that day were excited to be greeted by Elsa as she made her way around the school as a fun surprise.
Even though winter weather canceled school earlier in the week and we are heading into a break, being present at school remains important. Elsa helped remind our students to stay ready to learn while also getting excited for the upcoming break!
Thank you to our Holistic Child Department and Elsa for making this fun and memorable experience possible! ❄️✨
