Marshall 2 put the pedal to the pretend-metal this week during our much-anticipated Box Car Derby Day!

With imagination as their fuel and creativity in high gear, each child “drove” a custom-designed cardboard car down our pint-sized track.

From rainbow racers to dinosaur dragsters, these mini mechanics boxed outside the lines and turned cardboard into cruising machines.

Parents and teachers cheered as the kids revved up their engines (and their giggles), proudly showing off their creations before racing toward the finish line—at preschool speed, of course!

Everyone crossed the finish line a winner, with medals, smiles, and a few pit stops for juice and snacks.

It was a wheely good time, and we’re already gearing up for next year’s derby fun!
