Do you recognize this smiling face?
Our "Float into Summer" challenge has reached San Diego! Check out this seashell floatie enjoying a beach day with one of our favorite staff members.
We love seeing our school family recharge and enjoy their well-deserved break. Keep those photos coming
#FloatIntoSummer #GatewayRaptors #SanDiegoBound #SummerVibes #RaptorsInTheWild #GatewayTeachersRock
Last week, our teachers and staff "Sipped into Summertime" with some fun drink floaties to take on their adventures. Now, the challenge is on! We’ve asked them to send us photos of their floaties in action, and we want YOU to help us track them.
Our First Traveler:
This cool duck is kicking off the summer right with a great view, some Town House crackers, and a serious game of Monopoly Deal! 🦆🃏
Can you guess where this duck is vacationing? 📍
Drop your best guess in the comments!
Stay tuned all summer long to see where our Raptor family floats to next. Is it the beach? The mountains? A backyard BBQ? Let’s find out! 🥤🏝️
