Homer happenings from years past

Paul Banks First Grade students hold handmade We Love Homer signs at WKFL Park after a field trip visiting the Police Station, Post Office and WKFL Park, learning about citizenship, community and helpers within the City of Homer. When asked, “Why do you love Homer?”, two of the students responded: “Because it’s such a great place.” (Ella Christman); “Because there’s lots of animals and it’s pretty.” (Coraline Jones-Bear) Photo by Christina Whiting.
