She and her grandmother Jessica Williams were sure to get a photo with the mascot to add another memory to their first Grandparents Night Sept. 6 at the school.
Williams said Grandparents Night was amazing, and she's proud to see what her granddaughter has been doing at school.
"There's a great sense of community here," Williams said.
Besides getting a photo with the mascot, Williams and Rea, along with dozens of other students and their grandparents, ate dinner, browsed a book fair and completed a craft together.
