Education

Students of South Perry Head Start invited their special male role models to visit Hoosier Southern Railroad with them in March.

The children learned about being safe near railroad tracks and were able to climb into the locomotive. They were amazed at the size of the train. The students were also excited to spend the afternoon with some of the special people in their lives, teachers said.
