The highlight of their fifth grade year was when they went to Des Moines and attended an Iowa Wild hockey game.
Salutatorian Misty Helt said that without passion, life is just a chore. “Do we give up because life is too hard, or do we get back up,” she asked. Valedictorian Justina Wimer said that Sunday was the accumulation of 4,654 days of hard work and that the Class of 2022 had some of the best work ethics ever found at Worth County.
