Our Guest!

Mr. Chase!!

What a sweet surprise!  One of the fine young American soldiers we've adopted this year was able to stop by for a quick visit!  He was home enjoying some R&R with his family and made time to visit with us.  Now, I'm not really good a keeping a fabulous surprise a secret, but I managed to keep this one!  My kiddo's were so excited when he walked into the classroom.

Just let me say, Mr. Dakota Chase Woodall is a FINE young man!  He came right into our classroom and immediately connected with every one of my students.   He took the time to personally say and hello to each child!  I wish I had pictures of him giving high fives and handshakes to all of them.  He answered questions for about thirty minutes - being careful to not skip any child that had their hand raised.

He is now back in Afghanistan.  We will continue to keep him in our prayers and, of course, keep on writing those letters!
