This school year we’ve been corresponding with a couple different military groups. For Veteran’s Day we sent thank you cards to a Delta Company stationed in Kuwait, for Christmas we sent cards and snowflakes to Tyler Crabtree (Jay’s son) and friends at their Air Force Base, and for Valentine’s Day our 4th graders chose to send their cards & candy to the Delta Company in Kuwait instead of exchanging with each other.
This morning, Sgt. Ken Laite from Delta Company, who is home on leave, came to Sibley to surprise our classes! He shared his experiences with the students, we looked at Google Earth to see his base, and he answered questions that students had. He also presented our classes with a certificate of authenticity and an American flag that was flown at Camp Buehring in honor of our 4th graders. It was so awesome! The kids were very excited to finally meet Sgt. Laite we were all so thrilled that he took the time out of his 15 day leave to visit us!
