AVILLA â As Indiana Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner stepped into her first room at East Nobleâs preschool at Avilla Elementary, she had the reaction everyone else seems to have â wow.
The visit Thursday afternoon started off with business, lots of good questions about how the preschool was set up, what itâs teaching and how itâs helped. But by the time Jenner made it to the last three rooms, each one filled with classes of energetic 4-year-olds, the urge to play became too strong as she mixed it up with the students checking out at the grocery register, visiting the play food truck and working on building projects.
