The 6th graders enjoyed a guest speaker in Social Studies class on Friday, May 12th. Former STC students, Lauren Klump and her sister Ashley came to our school to give a presentation on what it was like to live in Japan. The students are currently studying Asia, so it was extremely meaningful for them to meet and learn from people who actually experienced the Japanese country and culture. We truly appreciate that Lauren and Ashley were willing to offer this opportunity to our students.
