8th Grade English Class Meets
Vietnam Veteran - Dan Fenley
Dan Fenley was a guest speaker in Mrs. Thurston's 8th grade English class last week. After the class read a short story about a Vietnam Veteran and his son, Mr. Fenley shared about his experience in Vietnam to make the story more real for the students. He also talked about the Vietnam Memorial the students will see in DC this week.

Your 8th grader will be visiting the Vietnam Memorial tomorrow morning.  

Look for more DC photos coming your way.
