Each family will receive one vote.

Did you know that Dec. 6 is St. Nicholas Day in Germany? Thanks to Groves kindergarten teacher Lauren Lazorko's connections, kindergartners learned about this and other traditional holiday celebrations in Germany on a Zoom call.

Students listened as Lazorko's friend, Miss Jenny, whom she once taught with in Germany, zoomed with them from her classroom in Germany.

"It's 5:30 in Germany while it's 10:30 a.m. here,” Lazorko said. “Miss Jenny's Wednesday is almost over, while ours is just getting started!"

When a kindergartener asked Miss Jenny if it was cold in Germany, she took them outside (on the Zoom call) with her to show them snow on the ground outside of her school.
