Our South Boston Day School ducks had some memorable spring break adventures! Before the break, students and staff each selected a duck to take along on their travels and shared snapshots from the journey. From professional development sessions and church visits to shopping trips, mountain and beach getaways, park days and some well‑deserved relaxation at home, these ducks stayed busy.

Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and shared a piece of their break with us. We loved seeing all the creativity and smiles!
