Shownotes

What happens when a 4th grader sits down with her former preschool teacher to talk about growing up in Batavia?

In this episode of Kids These Days, Superintendent Tom Kim introduces us to Shae (a 4th grader at J.B. Nelson Elementary) and Pam Foelske (director of Batavia Nursery School).

Shae and Pam share how much the town has grown, debate whether "old Batavia" or "new Batavia" is better, and explore why Batavia's sense of close-knit community hasn't changed.

Ultimately, this conversation shows us how education, extracurriculars, and district investments exist to foster the lifelong connections we find in Batavia.
