Kippers joins members who volunteered to work at WEAC’s Great Schools Exhibit. They are, from left to right, Kippers; Georgia Duesing and Bev Beecher, both of Burlington; Janet Mielke of Marion; and her daughter, Heather Mielke, of Burlington. “It was really exciting to see the 4K children,” Duesing said. “They are looking forward to school and this is their first connection to school.”
