Ivan Velasquez, a student in Mrs. Tracy Morris’ class, is a pledge helper this week for his class. He uses his communication device to communicate with fellow students and staff at Herty Primary. In the featured picture, Ivan is shown using this unique machine as he recites the pledges during our daily announcements. Thank you Mrs. Morris for working so hard to get this device for Ivan AND all you do for our Herty kiddos!
