A Gift That Truly Rocks! 🐴 Cracker Trail Elementary is proud to recognize a generous and meaningful donation from Mr. James Wright, grandfather of 4th grader Matthew Hullett. Mr. Wright has donated his personal Rock and Mineral collection, which he began assembling back in 1970 while taking a Geology class in college. This unique collection was thoughtfully gifted to Mrs. Brooks and our Gifted Education Program at CTE. We are incredibly grateful to Mr. Wright for sharing his passion for geology and helping us enrich our students’ learning experience. His gift will inspire curiosity and scientific exploration for years to come! Thank you, Mr. Wright! #CrackerTrailElementary #CTEProud #ScienceRocks #GiftedEducation #STEMLearning #ThankYou #CommunitySupport
