Who would have thought that while studying the letters G & W the perfect Mystery Reader was found? Kindergartners went to Weiland’s Grocery in Bendena for a tour and story. Ruth Weiland read the book, Pete The Cat’s Trip to the Supermarket and answered numerous business-related questions. She gave each student a 2023 Puppies and Kittens calendar as well as a ‘Smarties Lollipop.’ Thank you, Ruth, for helping us learn by sharing your business and the gifts with us.
