We were excited to welcome Marcus Hanel to visit our 4th grade students at Red Apple! Marcus shared powerful messages about controlling your actions, choosing a positive attitude, and making good decisions — both in school and in life. Our students were engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and made great connections to their own experiences. To top it off, he even played a fun game of hoops with the students! 🏀 It was an inspiring and memorable visit that our 4th graders will not forget.
