Today was an unforgettable Play Day at Thompson filled with nonstop laughter, teamwork, and school spirit ☀️🐯Students raced their hearts out through competitive relays, tug-of-war battles, three-legged races, water challenges, and bounced into even more fun with a bounce house obstacle course. From friendly competition to huge smiles all around, it was the perfect day to celebrate fun, friendship, and making memories together!
