National High Five Day was April 20th and our eSpark Ambassadors took the celebrations to a whole new level to honor all the hard work and achievements of their students this school year! With over 375 Ambassador teachers participating in High Five Day celebrations, the day was filled with fun, excitement, and positivity.
From school parades to classroom parties with parents, teachers were pulling out all the stops to honor their students. We’re thrilled to share highlights of the festivities on this special day!
