It was amazing.
Good job students.
One of my favorites was the train cars filled with "gold" and the recreation of the train engine.

Operation graduation
The 2015 Operation Graduation Committee will have its first meeting on Feb. 9, at 5:30 p.m., in Brooke Elder's third-grade classroom at Dolores Elementary School. We are organizing our plans and making preparations for the safe alternative "All Night Party." The group is looking to make this the best one yet, so a lot of parents are needed.
