Mrs. Paulson's 2nd grade class was excited to have the opportunity to have a special guest this week. First Sargent Kevin Stiegelmeier came and spoke to his daughter, Izzy's, class about his deployments, his job with the National Guard, and the sacrifices he & our troops make for our freedoms. We say thank you to Kevin and all our veterans for defending the freedoms we have today.
