Five For Friday - T'was the Last Day Before Christmas Break Edition Here are five of the many AWESOME things that happened at Page this week! 5. GLOWing together -  Mrs Smith wrote and received a grant from the Thornapple Area Enrichment Foundation to put on a STEM themed GLOW day in her class. It was AWESOME. We're grateful for the local partnerships that made this and a whole host of other grants possible. Way to keep our students' education TK Strong! 4.
