Senorita’s Stampede in Pre-K

District 80 Pre-K teacher Sarah
Mayberry and her aide, Susan
Fox, recently introduced “Seno-
rita’s Stampede” for the children
in their morning and afternoon
classes at Southtown Youth Pro-
grams Center. The little cow-
pokes raced down the gym floor
on stick horses, then galloped
over to their audience of fam-
ily and friends to sing songs re-
lated to the preschoolers’ study
of farm animals. The event
concluded with a photo session.
Pictured on her horse is cowgirl
La’Nia Burke.
