Today we were delighted to have a visit from a very special person to both the fourth and fifth grades! Zach Waara, the marine that we sponsored, returned from Afghanistan and came to visit us! Zach thanked the kids for all the prayers and care packages that they sent to him and took time to answer questions. He also brought along a slide show to share with pictures from Afghanistan! We are so happy that he is back with us safe and sound. Please continue to keep Zach and all of our military in your prayers. He will be returning to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina tomorrow.
Thank you to all who sent food and toiletries in to send to Zach. He said that it felt like Christmas every time he received a package and he shared his good fortune with all of his fellow marines. Any items not used were left for the group that came in to relieve Zach's company.
