Stuff the Duffle Delivery

See all pictures in Lake Carolina's Picasa Albums

The winners of the trivia contest for our 2nd Service Learning Project, Stuff the Duffle, spent the morning of March 12 delivering the 256 goodie bags to the USO at the Columbia airport and learning about the training process soldiers go through at Ft. Jackson before leaving for other military locations. 

Several soldiers waiting for their flight in the USO talked with the students and answered their questions. The students were also given a tour of the airport that included walking out to the area where the airplanes park. 

After leaving the airport, the students went to the U. S. Army Basic Combat Training Museum at Ft. Jackson. Four soldiers took the group on a tour of the museum to learn about the 8 weeks of basic training in the U. S. Army. It was a great tour because the soldiers shared their personal training experiences as they showed the students each section of the museum. 

The students enjoyed a picnic lunch and some recess time on the playground at Ft. Jackson before returning to school.
