Day 4 of loving on our teachers was so fun! We asked silly questions like, “if you could have a teaching superpower what would it be and what would your costume look like?” and their answers were so fun! Also, Crave in Crestwood so generously donated cookies to us to treat our wonderful staff! And S&T Too Pizza in Frankfort gave us coupons for every staff member as well!! Thank you to our amazing partners for all you’ve done! We love our Kerkstra Staff!!!
