Continuing our partnership with our wonderful community 2nd grade had two visitors today.
Tammy Unger used her knowledge as a nurse to talk about growth and development. She discussed how our bodies change, and the cycle of life.
The Honorable Judge Brett Spencer, and Bailiff Kris Fite spent time with us discussing rules and laws. They talked about the courthouse, jurors, and what the responsibilities of a Judge and Bailiff are.
We love having special guests in our classrooms. Our students are lucky to have community members who are willing to share about their expertise.
