So they decided to invite H ep p n er’s mayor, Les Paustian, to visit the Social Studies class. Tim Jaca from the class called the mayor and he agreed to visit, which he did later that week. Mayor Paustian told about his roles as mayor, and the students asked a variety o f questions. They were surprised that he did all of that work without being paid, and that led to a discussion o f doing the right thing to help out your community. As the mayor told about the improvement project soon to begin on Court Street, the idea of helping to fix the footbridge from Court Street to the main part o f town was bom. Class members were supposed to have a bake sale to raise money to help repair that bridge the evening, but when the light parade was cancelled, so was the bake sale. Kai Arbogast performed as a reindeer at the HES music program. The students wrote The program followed the American Idol theme. -Photo by Sandy letters to the mayor, thanking Matthews him for visiting the class.
