🍉 A Huge Shout-Out to Artist Zack Gardner! 🍉
We’d like to give a huge shout-out to local artist Zack Gardner for transforming a tree stump on our campus into our beloved mascot, Melon Man!
What was once an ordinary tree stump is now a special piece of Meloneer pride that our students can enjoy for years to come!
Pictured are a few of our kindergarten students with Zack Gardner and Melon Man. We are so grateful for the creativity and talent that went into bringing our mascot to life! ❤️💛
