Nash Hoffman and Brody Timmerman were nominated for the Good News Call by 5th grade teacher Mrs. Patzlaff. Mrs. Patzlaff suggested that while the other students were at band contest, they could vacuum the fifth-grade classrooms. They happily got the vacuum and went to work. They didn't just vacuum around the desks and chairs - they moved everything to be sure that they did a thorough job. Now our rooms look spiffy!
