Kindergarten students at SGES entertained guest speakers last week to expand on the theme of Community Helpers. They were very fortunate to learn about three different careers.
On Thursday, January 10, 2008, Tami and Lenny Zvonik were the featured guests. Mr. Zvonik brought in tools and safety gear that he uses in his career as a railroad worker. He also talked about the ways he uses the tools as he works. He works in all kinds of weather! Recently, his job had taken him as far away as California. Everyone enjoyed seeing how heavy his hammer was and learned what a tough job it is to drive and remove the large nails used on the railroad ties.
Mrs. Zvonik explained that pharmacies provide a lot of special services and equipment. They do more than just give us the medicines we need! She showed a lot of cool equipment that helps people when they are having trouble with broken or injured arms and legs.

Mr. Hansen visited with Kindergarten students about different skills used by law enforcement. He showed the students some of the equipment that he uses as a deputy for the Potawattomie County Sheriff's Office.
