On Monday March 31, Mrs. Difrenza’s class at the St. John Street preschool had a special visitor. The students of Room 13 are wrapping up a study about clothing, and one of the topics they learned about was the different types of clothing people wear to work.

Edward Smith, a supervisor for Fed Ex in Chester, NY, came to talk about his job and how his uniform supports his duties. He showed the students his reflective stripes that help keep him visible and safe, and all the pockets he has to keep things he may need while working. Before parting ways, he left all the students with a super-cool Fed Ex logo football.

Thank you to Fed Ex and Mr. Smith for helping students make real life connections to our curriculum and a special thank you to his tiny side kick Kadyn for joining us!
