Elementary School

Our first graders had a special visit from Mr. Truemper, a Vietnam veteran who brought books, artifacts and tons of stories to help our students understand the history and bravery behind his service. The kids were full of questions and curiosity, and it turned into such a meaningful learning moment. Huge thank you to Mr. Truemper for sharing his time and experiences with our young learners!
