Pete's Poets Poetry winners at Chester Grade School for the month of September 2018 are, from left, Sarah Surman, 4th Grade Teacher, Brylee Hagene, Aleah Eggemeyer, Zane Eggemeyer, Bella Holland, and Katie Werner. The entire 4th Grade at CGS is honoring former Chester Grade Teacher Pete Hittmeier this year by conducting the "Pete's Poets" program. Each month one of the 4th Grade classes write poems in memory of Mr. Hittmeier. The poems are judged by the teachers and awards are presented to the top students. Mr. Hittmeier had a keen love of poetry and the students enjoy this method of remembering him through poetry and learning.
