Winter Mystery Reader

Lowes’ 2^nd grade was recently visited by Trent Okerson, meteorologist for WPSD Local 6.  He showered them with clues such as, “I might be your favorite person when you see your school's name on Snowman 6”.  Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was chosen by Mr. Okerson to be read to the students. The children were given an opportunity to ask various questions that interested them about his job.   That evening, the students waited anxiously to hear him mention  their  visit and see their photograph of this exciting day.
