The Cherokee county fifth graders did a great job at Thanking our Soldiers

Fifth graders (including our daughter) at our Cherokee county elementary school ended up gathering packages and writing letters to our soilders who are serving our country.  They shipped them out so the soldiers would get them in time for Christmas.  Here is a note below from the fifth grade teacher.

 

 

fyi… our soldiers received their package for Christmas.  Read the reply below…

Merry Christmas to all!!

 

 

Mrs. Turner,

 

Thank you so very much for all of the packages that you have sent. It means a lot to all of the soldiers here in my unit to receive them. I will say that everyone thoroughly enjoyed them as everyone ran up and grabbed everything as soon as the packages were opened. The letters that your students wrote to us were very much enjoyed by everyone. We all took turns reading aloud each letter that we received. Everyone thought that they were adorable. Your students should be receiving reply letters in about a month. I am also preparing an American flag that will be flown over Iraq on one of our combat missions and I will send it to your class as a token of our appreciation for all of your support. I can not say thank you enough as we need all the support we can get. Thank you again, God bless you, and Merry Christmas.

 

Sincerely,

 

Steven D. Dickson II
