A special experience with unique classes, internships, and trips far away from home has wrapped up on Eagle Lane. The 12th annual Winterim at Pella Christian wrapped up last Wednesday, with regular classes beginning this past Thursday.
More than 40 businesses welcomed Pella Christian students over the past week, and three groups left Pella for trips to Florida, Guatemala, and the Bahamas. Senior Tysen De Vries spent his Winterim experience working with KNIA/KRLS Radio and said that it was a great experience getting to learn new things.
“I thought when I was younger, this would maybe be something that I wanted to try or maybe do in the future and just having a week there where I could follow some great announcers and great people at the radio station, it was really good to have that experience. And whether I do this in the future or not I definitely learned a lot of things that I could use later in life.”
