The Icon snatched this photo from the Ada Bulldogs Facebook.

Mrs. Gossard, first grade teacher, had her students tell a little about themselves as school got underway. You can see for yourself why they are special. (There's a lot of handstands in this class!)

For example:
• I can do a handstand while swimming
• I can draw people
• I can climb trees
• I collect LOL dolls
• I can sing
• I can do a handstand
• I can do a front flip on a trampoline
• I can swim
• I can do art
• I can make Furbys
• I can do a handstand
 • I can help people
• I can swim
