Today Dater welcomed some very special guests for Bring Your Child to Work Day! Our staff members’ children had the chance to step into their parents’ shoes and experience a day in the life at our elementary school. From helping in classrooms to exploring behind-the-scenes parts of the school, it was a day full of curiosity, laughter, and learning. We loved seeing the next generation of educators, leaders, and lifelong learners in action!
