Students celebrated Mrs. Kooiker’s final day of student teaching in Ms. Noack’s classroom. Over the past eight weeks, she has become a valued part of the class, spending much of her time teaching a 7th grade LA section and building strong connections with students.

To mark her last day, the class read a picture book about a garden of flowers, then surprised her with handmade flowers and heartfelt notes they created themselves. Mrs. Kooiker will be greatly missed, and we wish her all the best in her next chapter!
