Today we got to meet Sgt. Laite! He surprised our students this morning and spent some time with us. He shared information about his time overseas, we looked at Google Earth to see Camp Buerhing in Kuwait where he is stationed, and he answered students' questions. It was so great to finally meet the person we've been corresponding with this school year!
Sgt. Laite gave our classes a very special gift today. He presented the students with a flag that flew at his base for a day in honor of our 4th graders along with a certificate of authenticity. We were so touched that he thought of us and gave us those gifts. We can't thank him enough for taking the time out of his short break to visit us! Wow!
We sent off the boxes of Valentine's cards and candy to the Delta Company today. It's fun to know that Sgt. Laite will be in Kuwait waiting for our goodies!
