TGIF from the Shine team!

This week we we got excited for the Beauty and the Beast movie and started following Emma Watson’s rules for living your best life, LOLed over Shine Squad member Heather’s video surprising her students in a dinosaur costume, started planning the ultimate self-care day, and felt all the feels over the real life giving tree.
