Growing and Glowing at Olds!

Although there are so many incredible examples of growing and glowing this week, our growing and glowing spotlight is on our newly painted stairs. Our students have been buzzing noticing the bright new yellow paint with some even asking if it glows in the dark. Some small changes can make a big difference!
