In December, our students wrote Christmas cards and letters to active soldiers in the armed forces. This activity was designed to give our students appreciation for the freedom that exists in our country, and to show them the importance of thinking of others over the holiday season. We were able to send over 100 letters to soldiers serving overseas.
We are proud of the care and compassion they showed in their letters, and know that the soldiers appreciated reading their cards.
Here is a response we received from a newsletter published by LTC Cain of the 541st Battalion, stationed in Kuwait.
"Thank you for your support, prayers, and patience. You have remained strong on the home front, allowing your loved ones to focus on the mission and take care of each other. Without your support, our mission would be even more challenging. We are still enjoying the many, many packages that arrived during the holiday season, and are forever grateful for your generosity and support."
