Queridos Padres,

We had such an amazing field trip to the Fire Department & City Hall last Thursday. It was beautiful to see these kids step out and meet our amazing Mayor Kevin Klynstra. I was so impressed by the students’ respect, manners, and kindness. You have so much to be proud of as parents!
Thanks Field Trip Drivers! Haley Slagh, Joe Helms, Mark Westerbeke, Lindsey Kerber, Julie Hofman and Jill Hamm for driving to these places.

Finally, please consider helping us with our next field trip to SKLD Nursing Home this coming Thursday, February 27 (1:50-3:00) Thanks in advance for your help!!

Thanks for your many prayers for our classroom!

Blessings,

Maestra Durán
