TES celebrates K-Kids Week
Margaret Mead, an American cultural anthropologist, said it best in the following quote: “A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Tipton Elementary School’s K-Kids Club advisors, Debra Kuhn, Allison Ripberger, Rachele Carter, and Jen Martin echo that sentiment when referencing the members of school’s KKids Club. As part of K-Kids Week (Feb. 13-17) this seemed the perfect time to highlight the club, its members, and impact locally.
