Classroom who wrote to deployed Marines
I’d like to share these pictures with your readers and especially with the ignorant principal who wouldn’t let the children of Connie’s class write to soldier’s in Iraq .These pictures were in the local newspaper which prompted several other schools to contact these Marines to ask that they speak to their classrooms . They’ve spent several days of their leave doing just that!
The 2nd grade class pictured is in Spartanburg, South Carolina . They wrote to my son and his buddies while they were deployed, sending goody boxes and letters and cards. Their teacher made it a history lesson, a writing lesson, a spelling lesson, a geography lesson and most importantly a lesson in humanity and love for these children who were THRILLED when the Marines came home and visited their classroom.. That principal should be ashamed of himself! Marilyn Miller, Proud Marine Mom in SC
