The 5th grade class had a guest speaker today who was deployed after 9/11. She came in and spoke with the students about where she was that day, what it was like being at a base at the time, as well as what life was like in Iraq. She was one of the first troops to lay boots down in Iraq. The story was captioning and emotional. Thank you Annette!
