EMMETSBURG DISTRICT MISSION
The Emmetsburg CSD believes we will create an environment of promoting growth and serving others.
4 yr Old Preschool
Kaitlin, the Naturalist, came and visted us in November. She taught us all about turkeys. She showed us what they look like, how their feathers and feet feel, what they sound like, and even where they sleep!!
