When Pella Christian High School students return from Christmas break, they will start the second semester outside of the traditional classroom experience. Principal Kevin Herdegen says the 11th annual Winterim will be held from January 3rd through the 10th with students participating in unique classes, taking trips out of state, and interning at several local businesses. Herdegen says the Winterim program aims to give a taste of what life could look like after high school, and provide a different view at what is taught in the classroom. He says the program relies on the support of the area community in making sure the students receive a valuable experience.
