Thank You for Supporting Stuff the Duffle


We had a special guest thank the school for its effort with Stuff the Duffle today when LTC Catina Barnes-Ricks 'Face Timed' Mrs. Berzin's 1st grade class. Her son, Nehemiah, is in the class. She is currently stationed in Kuwait and talked with the students about how much military service personnel appreciate letters, drawings, and mementos from the U.S. LTC Barnes-Ricks also showed the class her living quarters and talked with them about the weather, time difference, food soldiers eat, and what her job entails while she is deployed.

Thank you for your support of our second Service Learning Project of this school year, Stuff the Duffle. The travel size toiletry items and snacks will all be placed into goodie bags to give to military men and women as they leave from the Columbia airport.
