Vincent Johnson is a local veteran and also is Evelyn's and Rivers' uncle. Both of these third graders are in Mrs. Kundinger's class so Mr. Johnson was kind enough to stop by the classroom after the Veterans Day Assembly. He showed the students some of the gear he needs to wear and let them try it out. The students also tried some applesauce cake from an MRE that he brought in. Thank you, Mr. Johnson, for sharing with us!

Veteran's Day Surprise: Veteran Betsy Thompson delivered a gift to one of our Red Creek students. What an awesome surprise!
