This is a FANTASTIC opportunity for parent/guardian education -- especially in light of recent social media issues in our area and across the country. Keep in mind, this presentation is for parents/guardians/adult community members only, as there will be explanations of content that might not be suitable for children.

From EAST Facilitator Audrey Plumlee at Hackler Intermediate School:
"My 5th grade EAST Program invited several veterans to come in today and answer questions from how life was in the service to how we could improve our Veteran's Day Program. We had Thomas Stickles Jr., Dan Hall, Delaney Thomas and Krysi Shimmel (who joined us Via Zoom from Maine).
Mr. Dan Hall showed us a LIFE magazine from July 2, 1965. On the front cover of the magazine there are several Marines carrying a wounded soldier. He is the soldier right under the letter E in Life, he has a mustache and is not wearing a hat. He talked to the students about how the picture was taken.
Mr. Thomas Stickles brought a MRE for the students to see what they ate. At the very end, Mr. Stickles and Mr. Thomas demonstrated how the MRE heats up. They allowed the students to take turns coming to the table to inspect and smell what the Chili Mac MRE looked like.
We are so grateful for all four of these men and women. They had so much to offer our students. It was a great honor for us all to be in the same room with them."
Congratulations to sophomore Owen Morris for being named Mrs. Lawrence's featured artist of the month!
