Kim Hyatt wrote a followup to her story about Third Graders Day—
Third-grade classrooms across the state held parties Monday, all thanks to Karen Wadena.
“I feel really good. My mom’s proud of me,” the 9-year-old said at the end of the busy school day.
It all started when Wadena noticed there was a National Fourth Graders Day, but not a day for third-graders. She thought it wasn’t fair and decided to write to Gov. Tim Walz in a letter to the editor that appeared in the Minnesota Star Tribune in early February.
“I saw how the fourth grade was having fun on their day this year. Some people in other grades were saying it was unfair. Some people were saying it was fair because that is their day. That is what made me think, “Woah, can we have a National Third Graders Day?”
