Robin Berger’s third-grade class at Bradley Hills Elementary School in Bethesda, Maryland, is the June Class of KidsPost. Her 24 students love soccer, math games and several kinds of cake.
This is our last Class of KidsPost for the school year. If you would like your class considered for next year, watch for a new survey in August. Ask your teacher to fill it out and send it, along with a class picture, to kidspost@washpost.com. Classes chosen receive a KidsPost Chesapeake Bay poster, books and KidsPost goodies.
