Meet Cora and Patrick

Hi everyone!
I wanted to introduce you all to two students who began working at the Preschool twice a week through the Duluth Public Schools' Bridge Program; Cora and Patrick. The Bridge Program is a really neat tool for students ages 18-21 to get support after their high school graduation in living and working in the twin ports community. Through the program, Cora and Patrick come into the preschool twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays to help the preschoolers out during the lunch hour.

Cora is a super sweet 19 year old girl who grew up in Duluth. She lives on a farm called Prancing Ponies (http://prancingponiesmn.com/). Cora has experience working with children through her church nursery, and she also works at Northstar Edison School doing lunch duty and kids club. She says her favorite movie is "Buck" and her favorite food is "Pizza". The kids have already fallen in love with her!! Please introduce yourself to Cora next time you see her.

Our other helper is Patrick. Patrick is a 19 year old boy who is also from Duluth. Patrick went to East High School where he said his favorite class was "gym". He loves going on family trips to Canada, and he is really passionate about paleontology. Patrick also works at Sammy's Pizza in lakeside. Patrick says his favorite movie is "The Lion King", and his favorite food is "pizza". Patrick is really good at making the kids laugh and they all just love him! Make sure you say "hi" to him if you see him around the school!!

Let me know if you have any questions!
